In that case they are fools. The unemployed list is listed on the
website, and anyone can subscribe.

I think most people would unsubscribe from the unemployed list if people
just started posting resumes on there. Too many unemployed people == too
much traffic. 

Lets leave unemployed for job leads, and general joblessness discussion.
If people are looking they'll ask, if not then they probably won't care
if your resume said you were Linus Torvalds.
