Hi All

Nick, in relation to posting 'work wanted' ads, your more than welcome, and
this is probably a good place to do it! Employers are also free to place
'work available' ads, so long as they are general and are not directly
soliciting individuals on the list (which is forbidden). Thanks for pointing
out the lack of available rules, I will look into that.

Cheers
MP
