Thank you for posting those messages. You may be safer if you send them to
the geoscience jobs listserver. Here's the information for all those who
need a job and are not yet subscribed to geosci-jobs. Please, paleoneters,
pass the information on to your students (and maybe you receive those
message on a regular basis and post them on the information board of your
institute). The service is free.
This is the information the listserver sends after subscription.

Welcome to the geosci-jobs mailing list!
If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, send the
following command in email to "listserv@NETCOM.COM":

Welcome to the geosci-jobs mailing list!
If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, send the
following command in email to "listserv@NETCOM.COM":
unsubscribe geosci-jobs
You may subscribe/resubscribe at any time by sending the following command

If you do so, Majordomo will check the 'From:' tag on your message and will
add it to the list. If the 'From:' does not contain a valid e-mail address,
try subscribing by adding your e-mail address to the command above (e.g.,
subscribe geosci-jobs you@whatever.site).
IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE SERVER within a day or two,
your command probably did not succeed and you should read the Majordomo
Troubleshooting section below.
There is no charge either for subscribing or for posting Geoscience
Employment Opportunity Announcments.

MAJORDOMO COMMANDS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
--------------------------------------
The preferred method of SUBSCRIBING to this mail list is to send a message
to listserv@netcom.com that contains the text 'subscribe geosci-jobs' (sans
quotes). Doing so lets Majordomo automatically add you to the list and send
you this file, without human intervention. What Majordomo does is to check
the 'From:' information on you message and add it to the list.
Unfortunately, some 'From:' tags don't contain enough routing information
or otherwise yields an invalid e-mail address.
If you do not receive an acknowledgement from Majordomo within a day or
two, try again... but add your e-mail address to the command this time
(e.g., subscribe geosci-jobs you@whatever.site). This subscription process
will take a bit longer because Majordomo will send ME a message asking for
me to approve your request before it adds you to the list. Once I approve,
it will send you an acknowledgement.
To LEAVE this mail list, send a message to listserv@netcom.com that
contains the text 'unsubscribe geosci-jobs' (sans quotes).
If any of the above don't work, send me (ted.smith@mtnswest.com) a message
describing your problem and I'll try to quickly resolve it.
Majordomo <listserv@netcom.com> understands several commands, and is not
limited to a single command per message (it will process commands until
reaching end-of-message or the command "end"). The command "help" will tell
you about all the other commands.
The commands which Majordomo <listserv@netcom.com> understands and which
are for everyone to use are:
subscribe <list> [<address>]
unsubscribe <list> [<address>]
which [<address>]
who <list>
info <list>
lists
help
end
Please send these commands to the server <listserv@netcom.com> and not to
the list. Detailed explanations of all of the above commands may be
obtained by asking for "help" from Majordomo <listserv@netcom.com>.
HOW TO POST AN EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT
--------------------------------------------------
Before posting an Employment Opportunity Announcement to GEOSCI-JOBS,
please read the 'Purpose of the List (What to Post/What NOT to Post)'
section above.
To post an Employment Opportunity Announcement, send it as a message to
geosci-jobs@netcom.com. The preferred format is to (1) include the
educational level required, field, and location as the subject of the
message [e.g., PhD: Petrology: USA-KS would indicate a PhD-level petrology
position located in Kansas] and (2) format your message to a width of 72
characters or less (longer lines get truncated at some sites, including
archive sites).
Posts to this list are only partly moderated. All posts from
non-subscribers are sent to the list owner for approval. All posts of more
than 250 lines also are sent to the list owner for approval. All other
posts are immediately sent to list subscribers.
ARCHIVE SITES (Sort of)
-----------------------
On a test basis, this list will be linked to GeoInfo Job Market, carried on
most GeoInfo BBS's and at some Usenet sites as geoinfonet.job-market. At
this time, these sites constitute the ONLY known archive sites. Technical
problems sometimes prevent posts to the mail list from appearing at these
sites. In the next few weeks, I will attempt to establish a www or ftp-able
archive site.
