Then surely they'll have the CFT available to sign up all over? :)

And some of you signing up I _know_ don't have CFT so be prepared to
be thrown off at some point...

Or possibly not archiving them is illegal.  Or possibly both.  Or neither.
Depending on who you're talking to.  You are in a twisty maze of
bureaucrats, all different.

Good advice that I've also been following for years. I'm even suspicious of
private emails (though I think maybe you mean those too in your ANYTHING
above), and especially of emails to company email addresses, which are
possibly archived by the company, though this may even be illegal.

X-No-Archive is advisory only.  There is no obligation on an archive to
obey it.  I certainly don't, and my mailiung list archives are on the web.
I protect them with HTTP basic auth, but it would be foolish to assume
that they will always be kept private.  All it requires is for someone to
break the authentication, or for me to accidentally break it, or for one
of the people who have the password to share it, or someone to steal the
disk it's on, or ...

ANYTHING you say online is archived by someone somewhere.  Assume that it
will be repeated somewhere sometime.

We have had this discussion before. I can't find it in the archive
with a quick look, but we have.  Any mailing list is likely to get
archived, even if the list administrator does not archive it, by a
public list archiving robot (I can't remember the details and tech
involved - someone else might be able to elaborate).  So, if you don't
want stuff archived publicly, don't use a mailing list.  Some of these
web archive robots ignore the noarchive header, apparently...

That's almost where I am (the last four weeks haven't been full of job
searching due to various personal crap that always seems to happen but...).
I finished a contract on October 31st. Still looking :(

Well, I do perl and various other things like MS SQL (so sue me, I think it's
the only truly good software product they make). I've had serious agent issues
over the last 9 weeks of so.

Me too. I've been off for 6 months now (4 of those were voluntary though, so
it's really only 2 months of job searching).

I hate this whole process, and am so annoyed doing it that I'm now applying
for permanent jobs too. I do SAP technical work, not perl, so I guess it's
of topic, but I think the problems I'm having are exactly the same - phantom
jobs, agents who don't call back, plumetting rates...

I'd be interested in that.

But would all that stuff be really off-topic on this list? Do we need 
another list?

Care to be on a side list talking about - CVs, contracts, personal
development, brainbench, pimps, worthwhile group projects and other
cft related stuff?
