Carlos Newsmaster@megalith.miami.fl.us *** fl.jobs to be removed on March 7th,1997 *** Please Switch over to New fl.jobs.* Groups ASAP You are receiving this document because you posted to fl.jobs. This newsgroup is set to expire on March 7th, 1997 due to discussions held in fl.config from August 1996 to January 5th, 1997. These discussions called for the creation of the following groups which were created on January 7th, 1997: fl.jobs.computers.application - Computer Software Application job in Florida. fl.jobs.computers.misc - Misc computer related job postings in Florida. fl.jobs.computers.programming - Computer Programming job postings in Florida. fl.jobs.misc - Miscellaneous Florida job postings. fl.jobs.resumes - Job seekers seeking Florida employment. fl.jobs.telecommute - Telecommutable Florida job postings. fl.jobs.www - WWW Florida job links. Once fl.jobs is removed, postings you make to fl.jobs will cease to propagate and will not be seen by those individuals you are targetting. It is important you begin using the new groups as soon as possible. The split of fl.jobs is in reaction to the extreme volume of postings arriving daily, many times in excess of 2000 articles per day. The above groups were created to make it easier to find jobs of interest in a much more organized manner as well as reducing volume loads on the one group. The above listed groups are Moderated newsgroups and as such, we have employed a Human/Robot approach for article approval in an effort to stomp out Spam and other material which is not pertinet to these groups. Posting to these groups requires that you register if you wish your job articles to be posted instantly. Otherwise, posting to any of the above groups will be intercepted by your news server and mailed to the moderator in charge of the group which may take hours or days before it is posted. To register, please read the charter of each of the above groups which you will find below. Then, if you agree to these terms send mail to fl-region@megalith.miami.fl.us stating that you agree with these terms as well as which groups you wish to gain access to. If you register, you will also be able to submit your article via mail to us for faster processing and therefore faster propagation to your target audience. Please note, all fl.jobs.* groups prohibit MultiLevel Marketing Schemes (MLM) as well as Make Money Fast (MMF) type postings. We also require that once you post an article, that you wait 7 days before you repost that very same article. There is no justification for reposting articles when most news servers on the net are set for 7 day expire periods. The guidelines for posting to these groups can be found below. You can also obtain the charter for the Florida fl.* region by pointing your browser to . If you agree with the posting guidelines please send mail to fl-region-admin@megalith.miami.fl.us stating which groups you wish to gain access to as well as stating that you understand and intend to abide by the posting guidelines of the groups you wish to post to. If wish to reach a a human on other matters concerning the operation of these or other Florida fl.* newsgroups, please submit your mail to fl-region-admin@megalith.miami.fl.us and we will be glad to assist you.
