Since Woody Daroga isn't a member of the list, and posted the notice 
through the Web site (I sent him there), I can explain a little of what's 
going on: He's recruiting a top editorial psoition for a Denver-based 
e-mail/Web customized national news service called Mercury Mail 
(http://www.merc.com/). He's looking for someone who has experience 
starting up an online publication or an online version of a newspaper or 
magazine. I don't know what his salary range is, though he swears the 
company's well-funded.

I do know he has other, lower-level editorial openings, including one for 
an "entertainment editor."

Best,
Gil
