Discussion

 * Q: Last year's page got pretty messy. Should we try a format more like Humanities Postdocs or Art History?
 * A: Sure if you know how to format it. Get us started and I'm guessing the rest of us would be happy to follow your lead.
 * A: Okay. Done. When you hit the "history" link, you'll be able to see which particular job searches were updated when.
 * Q: Hey folks whats going on out there? Things seemed to be looking up from last year but then seemed to slow down. Am I off in that interpretation? Although it does seem like there are a good number of good senior positions posted.
