This post wasn't clear so I mailed the guy to ask if it had any Drupal work in the job. He said no, that it doesn't. On the add job page it just says "thanks for your interest in supporting the drupal open source movement by hiring drupal developers" which kind of hints that these should be Drupal jobs, but doesn't state it outright (also s/drupal/Drupal).
What do you folks think? If someone wants to use g.d.o to promote any old "web" job is that ok? Should we restrict it to Drupal jobs? I can see arguments on both sides.

we had a number of such posts
We had a number of such posts in the New York group. every now and then another one comes about that doesn't get the hint that its about Drupal.
None the less, those posts often quickly disappear from the front page. so even though this post isn't very relevant, it doesn't cause much distress. in extreme cases we just delete it. otherwise we let it die on it's own.

I'd prefer Drupal jobs only
I'd prefer Drupal jobs only - there's plenty of general job websites so i'm not sure g.d.o needs to look like one. Additionally, at least in the UK, job adverts cost good money if you want to get them in a newspaper etc., so I'm not sure what benefit there is to letting any random company advertise for free. Here's another one that's got no mention of Drupal at all: http://groups.drupal.org/node/12369
agreed - moshe?
Great, I agree it should be Drupal only.
Moshe - can you update the help for the job node type so that it says "Drupal only"? Then we can delete non-Drupal jobs (after contacting the poster...).
