Your next question is, "What is the pay?"
Recently I've not had this problem. My current place literally said "We'll give at least 10% more than you get now" without even knowing what my current salary is.
There's a lot of money chasing talent these days. I don't think that these good times are going to last, though.

I could see it as a position in the DBA department to write the DDL and DML.
My experiences with DBA's is that they do nothing for 6 months while bad-mouthing the application's system design ... until the project "champion" (if any) kicks them in the butt.

On a more serious note, than some of the other replies, I must say:
1. I have been applying for a job for about a month now.
2. About 85% of them are like that.
3. They require years of experience in obscure languages and frameworks I've never heard of before.
4. Job boards advertise positions that are already filled, or don't exist at all.
5. Many recommend jobs like checkout clerk. They don't check your resume when they have it on file and match you
to a job that matches your skills.
6. There is REAL age discrimination against both old and young candidates.
Finally, I could not agree with you more. 
Really finally, I do VB6 to C#/VB.net conversions, and SQL Server design and maintenance. In case you know of anything please let me know.

My company is actually in the process of large VB6 to C# project. Are you still looking?

Absolutely! How can we proceed?

How do I send a private reply. I guess I code too much to read directions. I see where it "Allow private email replies to this message".

I recently posted a resume online; now it seems 30 different agencies have picked it up. My Inbox is flooded with job postings daily, even weekends. The problem is, not one of those agencies has ever read my resume. None of the postings are remotely related to anything I do, although I did think about driving a truck once. Morons all!!!

Not a Programming Question:
A group of artists in our community gathered yesterday for an informal "hey, what are you working on" and the facilitator collected emails and phone #'s. She would now like to distribute this contact list among the people that were at the gathering.
In the past, she's accidentally cc'd everyone on a list, resulting in all of us getting spammed because someone on that list had some malware.
Is there a best practice for emailing people a contact list that includes emails and cell #'s?
Obviously she should bcc everyone when sending the email, but what about the content of the email which would have everyone's contact information? Is there a way to "safely" email that to people?
It's one of those weird questions that I really don't have a clue about!

What threat vector(s) are you trying to protect against?
If you're just worried about malware scanning the body of a message for email addresses, then perhaps a plain-text file inside a password-protected zip file attachment might be good enough.

Love that idea, unfortunately these artiste's would have no clue how to handle that.

I create noreply / autodelete "group send" accounts, and email to that with a BCC to everybody. That way, no private info is ever exposed.
Herself's workplace has done that twice: first time everyone was polite(ish), second time the boss got some really nasty messages and veiled threats ...

You could use one of them messengers, if you'd be stupid enough to believe they never leak.
Simple answer; you don't. You might just as well include passwords in there, please, in plaintext for GMails' convenience.
You make sure they can login on a page for your community, and you DO NOT mail them the password in plaintext. Ever.

I'll ignore that hit; what do you think, methinks of dropbox? Can YOU guarantee to me that they do not leak?
Snailmail, paper, ever heard of it?

Sorry, I wasn't meaning artists in general, I was referring to my knowledge of how computer-not-savvy people are in this specific community.
Eddy Vluggen wrote: methinks of dropbox? Can YOU guarantee to me that they do not leak?
No, but I'm not looking for 100%, just cover the basics of not posting a list of email addresses into an email.
Eddy Vluggen wrote: Snailmail, paper, ever heard of it?
Yes, very much an option!

That then; mailaddress means you can track them, and they'd need be unique. Hard to get a new one too.
Might be more modern to require them to log in with a phone, sending an sms as proof of origin; that's electronic paper, but same idea; though getting a new SIM is cheaper than changing an address.
I'd prefer to not receive a list at all. I'd prefer to send my crap to some server on your side, and have them login there to see that message. That way, my phone number and mail can be kept private, while still being able to communicate with the group.
Like here, on CodeProject; you can contact me, easily; yet you do not have my mail address, nor my phones. Also, phones is never needed anyway, only for emergencies - emergencies meaning you need either firedepartment, ambulance or police. All other stuff can wait in my email until I take the time to read it.

I know when filling stuff out online I have put in comments my email with myemail at myDomain dot com
Replacing the @ sign with space at space and the period with space dot space seems to be enough that the autobots cannot decipher it.

That is definitely the simplest and easiest solution, and probably would work well enough.

sometimes the simplest solution is the best.
Also this gives you the ease of just using global edit replace in the document before you send and after they receive on their end.

How many artist are we talking about? Names, emails and cell numbers? That's near identity theft. And one can now guess the "near" location.
This is private business between (individual) members. (IMO)

If I understood your question/problem correctly, you want everyone in a mailing list to have everyone else's contact information, but you don't want the contact information able to be hijacked. Is this even remotely close?
