Actually I'm not certain there is one right now, unless it is by people
who really don't want to see any job offer to the list, but they can
easily filter out JOBOFR in the subject line and never see them.

If people think that they'd get more offers with a jobs list because we
reject a lot, this is not actually true. We've been pretty much forwarding
all the offers we got (the amount of filtering we do is related to the job
market, we're not insensitive)

I don't mind if someone wants to do a free for all jobs list, but if you
hope that this will bring you more relevant linux jobs, you're probably
wrong :)

Otherwise, as an easy thing to do, I changed the listinfo page to point
to the list info page (which also points to the don't post jobs directly
page), but I have no plans to unsubscribe everyone so that they can
resubscribe after acknowledging the new listinfo page.
