  Uh... the list FAQ at http://www.phillylinux.org/faq.html specifies "Job
postings related to, and mentioning, Linux, Unix or Open Source." as
being on topic. The post was listed OT for Off Topic, a subject heading
discussed previously this year on the list. I did not offer an opinion
at that time because I sometimes find something relevant or useful in
everyone's posts.

  I feel that at its core, PLUG is about a community of people who are
users of Linux and other UNIX like (POSIX compliant?) operating systems.
I also feel that toleration is a part of a community as well. Since the
plug list is not an actively moderated list (meaning that each and every
post must be approved via a moderator) you can only expect a larger
noise level that on a purely moderated list. Thus, the need for
toleration.

  Maybe... now is a great time to bring up the topic of yet another list?
plug-jobs? Maybe a cross-posted list with another job oriented and
geographically associated list?
