[Haskell-cafe] Proposal: New mailing lists -- haskell-jobs & haskell-academia

[Jose A. Lopes]

I agree with Ben.

People will just keep posting where they get the most audience. It won't
make a difference. Besides, the mail subject for a job posting is in most
cases enough to simply skip the email, in case you are not interested
in job postings (or studentships).
