Incidentally, the counts of the number of posts under each thread for 2009
is most enlightening:

  1. VACANCY: Site Reliability Engineering (161)
  2. VACANCY: MySQL Database Architect (Reading, Berkshire, UK) (96)
  3. Perl Question - Spam Filter for NMS Form Mail (81)
  4. RSI: Was VACANCY: Site Reliability Engineering (66)
  5. Linux has arrived (63)
  6. Camalyn Vacancy Posts (61)
  7. [O/T] Grr... new keyboard (59)
  8. Beagle Board (44)
  9. how safe is linux against identity thief (40)
 10. It is not Microsoft (37)

The job-related topics are most conspicuous, and the threads always
generated more heat than light. Perhaps there really should be on another
mailing list dedicated to job postings - with discussion forbidden on that
list to stop flamefests.
