Did you read it? It says right near the top:  

"You received this message because you're a subscriber to TECHWR-L. 
This ad posting is sent daily directly to all list members to help
underwrite the costs of the list (just as ads in a newspaper, magazine,
or journal underwrite the costs of those publications)."

Is that not clear?

Did you sign up for the digest? Are you getting individual messages
instead, or nothing at all? Any message you get from the list (except
that "ad" message) has info about maintaining your subscription at the
bottom. Or just browse to: 

http://lists.techwr-l.com/mailman/options/techwr-l/

Log in (leave password blank if you haven't set one) and review/change
your subscription options.

Are our current discussions disappointing you, or are you really not
getting anything but the "Premium Jobs, Events, and Announcements"
message? If the latter, that would explain it. 

But, frankly, I'm not sure how "vibrant" we've been lately. ;-) See for
yourself by checking out the archives at:

HTH!
