I agree entirely with Andrew Lee. It's very useful indeed to know about the
jobs through lists, but surely all that is needed is sufficient information
to give an accurate indication of the nature and level of the post and a
contact address (electronic or otherwise). I certainly do NOT want attached
documents for posts in which I have no interest whatever; apart from the
danger of virus infection they clutter up my hard disk and mean more to do
when I'm (infrequently) cleaning it up.
