No! No more groups!

Now that that is out of the way, what about mi.wanted for the traffic?
Given the message frequency in mi.*, I'd think that only one group,
say mi.misc, is warranted.  That's where most of the articles go, anyways.

Mi.wanted seems sufficient to me . . . on the other hand, as a well-known
spineless wimp, I'll go with the majority on this one.

While I *do* think that mi.wanted is sufficient for job postings, if the
"majority" feels that mi.jobs is needed, I'll volunteer to be part of a
small gang.  :)

I'm one for putting things where they belong. I'll vote YES on the mi.jobs
group and carry it on Plex-1.  If there isn't enough YES votes, I'll look
in mi.wanted (since I am looking at this time). ;)

We'd carry it [mi.jobs] . . .

If we look at the total number of job postings in the mi groups and do
a reasonable extrapolation, it is obvious that we don't need a separate
group for Michigan jobs now or for the next few years.

On the other hand, if we look at (un)employment statistics in Michigan,
it is obvious that making it easier for people to find work is a good
thing.

So, if Ed (emv@msen.com) proposed creating mi.jobs so that
4 or 5 postings a month will now also get crossposted to mi.jobs,
I am against creation of the group.

I would be for creation of the group, if it meant that Ed would
repost Michigan jobs found elsewhere, or convince large local
employers to post their job openings or anything else that would
lead to a significant volume of appropriate posts.

How many are enough?  I'd say follow the usual USENET guidelines, that is,
100 more "Yes" votes than "No" votes for it to pass.

We'd carry it too.  We will carry anything (that we don't have to explicitly pay
money for...) 

But Im curious--are there people out there who read *some* mi groups, but not
all?   (Even worse, are there some sites that only carry selected mi groups?)
I read any mi postings, so I dont really care if there is an mi.jobs or not...
(But I do like the recent postings that Ed has made about local jobs!)

>We'd carry it [mi.jobs] . . .

Whatever happened to mi.fido?  It seems to me that's more important, and
would have many times the traffic of a mi.jobs group... there might even
BE a mi.fido.jobs group already.

Its not like the mi hierarchy has 35 meg/day traffic. We get them all and
send them all to whoever wants them.

Sure there are people who read only *some* mi.* groups.  Me, for one.

And, Yes on mi.jobs.
