Because, as you say, some people need work. And working with NT is better than starving. Plus, you  might be able to subvert them to a more Linux-friendly attitude. Finally, most places I've worked at have had a mix of OSes, and employers like looking for people with broad, cross-platform skills (presuming that you're well-qualified in whatever the primary or dominant platform is, of course).

I look at it like this - just label them [OT], or [JOB-POST], or some such, and then people can ignore them (or not) at their leisure. Besides, I seriously doubt that the list would be innudated with such postings; I'm sure they would be a very small percentage of the overall traffic here.
