What about the self categorizing scheme that Denis presented?

[ANN] - in the subject means announcement
[JOB] - means a job post

That way people can get their fill of the fun discussions regarding
group dynamics while filtering out the meaningless drivel such as
announcements and jobs ;)

ps - The job posts don't really bother me as long as they are
relevant.  It seems that the traffic arguing about posting policies
are far more common anyways.  I'd prefer not to subscribe to another
list.  (So you know where I'm coming from, I'm a lurker on many
mailing lists (40+) and don't always read every message.  I prefer
searching via gmail to sourceforge or other lousy interfaces)
