1. My $.02. I don't see the need to filter by type of job offering.
Yes we are interested in Linux and FOSS stuff, but there may be those
of us who desperately need work to put food on the table and can't be
quite so choosy. Those who are offended can simply apply the X key.
Some, like myself, may not ever see the offers (not subscribed to the
Jobs list). I have to deal with software from the dark side every day
at work, but it's a job. I can see good reason for declining non-linux
posts to the main clue list, but not when it comes to jobs.

2. It would be oh so lovely if folks would learn to trim their posts.
