While it is definitely a good idea to post job offers in the job groups,
I have a philosophical disagreement with the idea that job availability
in the games programming industry is not relevant to this group!

Who in the industry is doing what is always relevant, as the most frequent
way for someone to break in to the games industry is to come across the
infinitely improbable overlap between a company's needs and an individual's
skills.

Repeated posts, however, are annoying broadcasts of a company's failure to
attract the talent it needs.  Let's let Ed post this once and see how he
does!
