As someone who is within a few months of retirement (to become a full time
consultant!), I have a great deal of sympathy for our younger colleagues
using the list to seek employment. As Karen Thompson put it, one should not
neglect ANY means - especially in this time of restraint for most
institutions.
My impression is that there are a lot of young, energetic and talented
people out there knocking on the door and that it is the responsibility of
those who have forced our ways inside (or fallen inside!) to help them where
we can.
What goes around, comes around.
