Hello virology readers, question requiring your input. As acting moderator,
I have to decide which messages actually get put into the virology discussions.
I try to interpret the newsgroup charter liberally, and have only had to throw
out small amounts of spam. Essentially, anything dealing with virology in a
serious fashion gets in. Lately however I have been getting posts regarding
job offerings or jobs sought. Some of them are virology related, but many are
not, so I kindly return them. Most are cross-posted to other newsgroups.
Given the job market, I think most of you probably would like to hear about
job openings in virology. My guess is that you don't want to read recent
graduates' resumes, however. So, I open this for discussion. Should this
group handle this talk? Should there be a distinction between job openings
or job seekers? BTW, I thought there was a separate bionet group to handle
such traffic. Could anyone confirm this? Remember, this is YOUR group as
much as anyone's, so please give me feedback. If we can reach a consensus
it may be possible to amend the group charter. FYI, I am posting the most
recent version of the charter that I have as a separate post.
