Michael, I like the form idea very much for cf-jobs. To be honest, I'm guessing most 'new' posters are posting with the form anyway (can you tell that?)
The main reason I like it is that it can be structured so that we can always identify the pieces of information we need to know up front and those who are posting for the first time won't be so unsure about their post because the form itself will inform them on what they need to provide. I can't tell you how many posts I've seen over the years where the poster didn't even include the location of the job in the post. Too funny, really. :) Thanks for looking at this!

In order to reply to the cf-jobs list someone would have to write the cf-jobs email address in specifically or have a bad email client. I'm setting the cf-jobs list to reject any 'reply-to' message which will stop replies but the off topic stuff would still be a problem. The answer to that is something I've been planning for a while which is to use a singe, standard job posting form to post to the list rather than free-flow emails. In other words, you would have to post from the site only for cf-jobs. On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 3:29 PM, Larry C.
