Be careful what you ask for.... you might get it :-) It doesn't bother me, although depending on how my day is going, I do like the suggestion of having clarity in the Subject Line so that I can quickly delete without opening if time is short. I also think that it *might* be interesting to see where across the world the demand for classes is outpacing the availability of instructors. It could spawn some valuable and interesting discussion on the growth of paddling and so forth. As another slice at the issue, I'd question whether "jobs" is any different than "for sale" or "wanted" posts. Neither of the three are pure "discussion" but all are pertinent to paddling and may help someone, and helping each other is a key benefit of participating in the forum. If it were my decision - which it clearly is not - I'd say lets allow them for a period of time, perhaps 6 months (or until the question is clearly answered during the course of those months) and then evaluate the "business case" so to speak, of having them included. In otherwords, lets make the decision based on fact and experience rather than on hypothesis and presumption. If it gets out of hand during the trial period, stop it. Just my initial reactions, but no strong opinions on it - just casual thoughts.
