First a Couple of Caveats:
As was requested in one of the feedback notes this
weekend, henceforth I will use a consistent title for
these postings so that those of you who can establish
filters will have a target (and others of you may wish
to filter anything that comes from Indigo). The ones
that come from Idealist.com will always be known as
Opportunities!, followed by the date. Had I thought
about the filtering, I wouldn't have vacilated
heretofore, but I was going with "truth in
advertising" rather than thinking about a filter. The
times it was listed simply as Opportunity had to do
with the fact that there was only one, I believe.
HOWEVER, I cannot use a consistent term with all job
postings because some are forwards from the source,
and I have no control over how those are titled. You
MAY want to look for commonalities yourself and
establish more than one filter. Examples of other
filters might be Yahoo Careers (or whatever they use
since I'm doing this from memory) or New York Times
(for those of you who find those postings
objectionable).
Another issue is that there has been concern about the
NY Times postings and their ads. The NY Times, as do
many of the periodicals, has a free forwarding service
for it's articles, but somebody has to pay for that,
and it is paid for by its advertisers. I have no
control over that aspect of it. We're getting
something for nothing, and it's the price we pay to
get the information. On any given day, I read the NY
Times, the NY Post, the Seattle Times, the Chicago
Tribune, Tampa Bay Online, and many, many others, and
just about each of those has ads.
If I copy the text and forward it extracting the ads,
first it takes even more of my time (which I don't
mind), but it violates copyright (which I do). More
and more periodicals are protecting their works, and
it behooves us all to exercise some caution. The web
has been fairly freeform for many years, but there is
a whole field that is growing called internet law, and
I feel I personally have to exercise caution in this
regard.
Some of you have concern about the publication of full
text versus abstracts. When the volume of info I post
has been greater than normal, I do rely on the
abstracts. However, when it has not, I prefer to go
with full text. I will explain to you why.
In addition to this list, I am also list mater to a
disability advocay forum with a heavily political
skew. Included among my members and friends with whom
I have interfaced over time are many blind people.
The blind have a difficult time with manipulating
their readers, as I understand it, to switch from one
source to another, and they have a horrific time with
superfluous characters. Think about trying to surf
the web in the dark and having to listen to the reader
verbalize every character of a web site or extra set
of graphics some sighted person has embedded to make
the document look more aesthetically pleasing for
those with no visual impairments.
For this reason, I do try to forward full text to
accommodate their needs--and yes, we do have many
members on this list of which I am cognizant with
sight impairments--and, when I am forwarding something
to my own listserv that comes from an email I have
received, I forward full text EXCEPT that I extract
all the extra graphics that would personally drive me
mad (or perhaps more mad).
If you are interested in assisting with accommodation
of people with sight impairments here are a few extra
pointers: 1) I try to almost always put my response
on top of what has been heretofore sent to me. My
blind friends have told me they HATE to hear the same
message over and over and over again just so they can
get to the new text; 2) I try to include the links at
the bottom of articles where I can; 3) I try to use a
simple, average-sized typeface.
This discussion group serves many masters, each with
differing needs. I am trying to be sensitive to yours
and have therefore embedded these caveats into one
that would only normally apply to jobs. If someone
has already filtered or is ignoring these
messages--and they are absolutely within their rights
to do so as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't hurt my
feelings--they will have missed it. Please help me to
pass these pointers along to any who later come along
and say "What's this all about?"
Finally, thank you to all of you who have had such
very kind words of encouragement. I have been
thrilled to learn that so many of you are finding true
value from what is offered, and it's great hearing
from each of you.
For many years, I nearly drove myself (more) nuts
trying to please everybody. There are a few lessons
I've learned in life and one of them came from the
fund raising and facilitations I did for many years
for my employer of two jobs ago.
Try as I might, I have learned I am NEVER going to
please everyone because some people simply cannot be
pleased, and others are just as ornery as am I. All I
can do is try to put forth the best effort possible so
that I can sleep with myself at night. I will
continue to do so and, if you find that, in the course
of dealing with my offerings, I have personally
offended you, please know that is never my intention.
Most of the time, I am approachable, and if you find
that I have danced on your toes, please send me a
private note so that I might learn from the experience
and attempt to factor in your needs among the many I
now include.
With that, on to today's job postings:
