Having both available would be ideal. So far that I've seen, there hasn't
been
problems submitting free-form email on other mailling lists and it's been
very
effective for knowledgeable employers.

Very good point. Since I brought/revived this topic, I'm willing to do the
list admin work if that can be delegated to me.

Though my emphasis is creating a jobs mailling list...
If there's a jobs website, I'd suggest making it as employer friendly as
possible considering employers have chosen PostgreSQL and do pay
PostgreSQL salaries...
