It can also be hard to locate the proper resources sometimes, maybe
moreso from a remote spot like I'm in. These notes are not only
welcome, but hoped for in my case. Granted, I have LAN access to
the net, but that isn't any guarantee that I'll be able to get
through to what I want or that I can find it in a reasonable time
frame.

I've seen enough crap on other mailing lists (including binaries at
more than 1M in size). This one has its digressions, but basically
has an incredibly high s/n ratio, higher than any I've seen myself.

FWIW, I feel anything that is honestly Linux-related has a place,
and anything that is computer-related is tolerable at worst. And for
my money, job notices and Linux distribution notices are no less
valid than anything else here (plus I'm hoping that someday I can
grab one of those job openings and get outta here...).
