    In fact, it directly violates the list policies[1], and in the 
past, I've unsubscribed people for exactly the same infraction. 
Everyone who joins the list gets a welcome message which includes a 
link to the policies and a very obvious exhortation to read them[2]. 
I don't know how to make things any more clear, but if anyone has a 
suggestion, let me know.
    (Just to address one common suggestion, it seems to be very, very 
difficult if not impossible to make visiting the policies page a 
condition for activating a new subscription.  If anyone has an 
example of this being done in a Mailman environment, PLEASE point me 
to it.)
    For those who are in search of employees or employment, there are 
at least three good venues:

    http://cssbeauty.com/jobs/
    http://authenticjobs.com/
    http://jobs.37signals.com/jobs

Some of those cost money to list a job offering, and others don't.  I 
have no affiliation (financial or otherwise) with any of them.  I 
just know they're there, and far more appropriate for job postings 
than a CSS mailing list whose policies explicitly disallow job 
postings.


[1] http://css-discuss.org/policies.html : "No solicitations of 
employment or requests for applications."

[2] An excerpt from said message: "This list has very definite ground 
rules.  They can be accessed at this URL: 
<http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html>.  BE SURE TO READ THEM 
BEFORE YOU POST!!!  Thank you.  We look forward to your contributions 
to the discussion!"
