Right - but it's the question of the purpose of the list. CF-Jobs is an exception to the rule here. It's not a discussion board. It has one purpose only: To post jobs or to post that you're available for hire. That's it. So theoretically, you'd be there for one purpose only - to respond to a specific job offer, or to post your specific request. The forum is really an archive of the mailing list posts, and some people prefer reading the job offers on the archive rather than getting them through email. So if you need to respond to a specific ad, or a request for hire, it would make sense to have your reply go to the person who made it, no? And if you need to discuss an issue having to do with finding a job, or the job market, or ColdFusion in the marketplace, than CF-Jobs-Talk is the place to go.
