I have to disagree. I think that the list has quite a bit going on besides
job hunts, and even if Indigo started her own list, the list would still get
and have to answers questions about how to get into the field. I have
learned a lot just by lurking on the list, and when I have information that
is relevant to a discussion, I post it.

I also think that Idigo's opinion is just as valid as everyone else's, and
that if anyone is trying to start discussion, it's her.

If you are so worried about not having good debate about the museum world,
why don't you start one?
