I have no problem with job ads, as long as the subject line includes
the state involved. I like to browse 'em all sometimes, and I
wouldn't want to have to create a separate inquiry just to do that.
Job ads are a valuable way of keeping one's finger on the pulse of
the industry, and as such I think they're as germane to this list as
any message could be.
