My initial reaction to "too few people subscribed to it" is "duh".  It 
would make sense that list would be populated by:

- those who need a job
- those who hire
- those who headhunt

If you don't fall in those categories, it's of no real interest to you, eh?

Further, unless it's advertised prominently, many people would miss it. 
We may be "nerds/geeks", but not all of us think immediately of mailing 
lists as a means of communication.  In that sense, this group is 
self-selecting.

I propose that a -job mailing list is a good thing to have, and allows 
*easy* searching/archival.  The only thing lacking is pointing folks to 
it when it comes up, and prominently advertising it where it's appropriate.
