        [Steve Arrants]  Then perhaps there shouldn't be job listings
posted to the list?  If someone is going to take the time to format and
post a job opening, they're going to want responses from folks who are
both qualified AND interested in replying. Not including such basic--and
critical--information as relocation information cuts down on the
responses. If folks are going to complain about how hard it is to find
qualified staff, they really need to look at their job opening postings.
Telling people what the salary range is within a posting helps
"preselect" your candidate pool.

        I don't think what I want to see in a posting is all that
different from what others want to see.  If someone doesn't include
information about location, salary, qualifications, etc. it shows poor
planning.
