[ale] Job listing

[Robert L. Harris]

   I will give points to the list.  Unless someone filtered it, I didn't 
see one "That doesn't
belong here" message, just the discussion on the quality of the posting 
by the recruiter.
I think we all realize right now the ALE community needs to help itself 
and that means
any remotely relevant job postings.  I personally would rather filter 
out 20 postings a
day than keep one of you from seeing a job listing you might need to 
feed your family.
