[Baypiggies] Let's welcome the new year!

[Shannon -jj Behrens]

I like the idea of using subject prefixes, but I opted against it
because it's too easy to mess up.  I do seem to be hearing a lot of
people saying they don't mind occasional job postings.  Is anyone
going to step up and insist on a separate jobs mailing list?  One
benefit of a separate jobs mailing list is that it can be explicitly
moderated.

Best Regards,
-jj
