[Bldg-sim] Revising Policy Related to Help Wanted Ads and Services Offered

[Santiago Velez]

Dear Group,
                 as a new user of this mailing list and
a developing professional in building energy modelling,
I'm extremely pleased mailing lists like this exists at all. The fact that
is not used just for support but also for posting Job offerings
and Training courses,  in my particular case, makes it even more appealing.
I think adding "Job Offer" or "Training" on the subject wouldn't  harm
 anyone and it would be quite easy to filter out for people that are not
interested, as David very well suggested.
Thanks,
Santiago
