Everything is illegal in some countries, so that can't be an argument for keeping this sort of thing off our job boards. And while this sort of discrimination is highly distasteful, I don't believe we're going to come up with criteria acceptable to the entire project for screening these posts. The various opionions seen already in this thread support that. Personally, I can't see how any company that would turn away a more qualified candidate in favor of one less qualified based solely on something like age has much hope of lasting very long. Nor would I be sorry to see it go. noah
