As a recent graduate (currently employed, but who
          knows about the future), I concur.  I was under
          the impression that targetted mailing, with a
          cover letter tailored to the individual
          institution is far more professional.  This seems
          a little too desperate ("will curate for food?").

          I don't object to job postings on the list, and I
          wouldn't object to advertisements of a relevant,
          professional nature if there was some sort of key
          in the header: "ADV: Travelling Exhibit
          Available," for example.
