 Ahh, and you are going to make this list publically available, and I suppose
 you think that everyone gets a copy of this list will use it only to send out
 resumes to companies that want them. Well, you are wrong there, within a day
 of releasing your list, any company that is on it will be flooded with a ton
 of annoying fax junk mail, as if they aren't already. Because lots of
 "entrepeneurs" will pick up this list and fax these nice companies
 advertisements for computer cleaning kits, hardware, repair, plastic dishware,
 cutlery, and everything else you could imagine.

 I would guess that maybe half would be happy with the unsolicited junk fax, at
 first, (until they got sick of them, since you would be starting a monster),
 the rest, well, they wouldn't look at any resumes they recieved that way
 kindly.

 How about compiling a list of VOICE phone numbers of mid to large sized
 companies, then calling the human resources department, ASKING them if you
 could send them a fax of your resume, THEN doing it.

 That's true, ask them if they could keep your resume on file. Don't just dump
 it on them. They may already have their own avenues to find people.

 I thought CRS screened non-standard characters out of their Usenet postings?
 Oh well...
