In alabama.jobs, which I moderate, I took a bunch of submissions from
various agencies and grouped them together to make a per-agency
summary.  If you get alabama.jobs, take a look at articles with these
Subject lines:

  US-AL-Sylacauga The Bostic Group summary 4 Sep 2000
  US-AL Maxwell-Marcus summary 4 Sep 2000
  US-AL Careershop summary 1-2 Sep 2000

In each case, I stripped out most of the redundant site
advertisements.  I posted each message under my own name.  All of the
articles as submitted by the agencies had generic From addresses (like
webmaster@careershop.com).

My question is:  Is this anything like what is acceptable to the
jobspew cancelers?

I have two problems with this format:

  1. It is almost more trouble to me than it is worth.
  2. Users can't scan Subject lines looking for what interests them.

I can also see where the recruiters who submit these articles wouldn't
like me stripping any of their ads out.  I am not too worried about
this.
