TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The company puts them up because they know they'll get bites. They may get a
great deal of chaff, but they'll get wheat, too. These adds will continue to
appear while there are more writers than positions. It's not their
fault...it's ours.

John, in what way is it our (assuming you mean writers) that there are more writers than positions? Have we been making too many baby writers?
I assume the lack of positions is because of a multitude of economic factors, most of which are not in our span of control or even influence. The only way I can see to cut down on excess writers is to close ranks and start pickin' off the newbies. (Or is that what you are trying to do by questioning those writing to the list who are just starting their careers? <grin>)
