To be fair, it's an important hair to split.  :)

Personally I find the job postings relevant and useful, but I would 
second Chandler's point that they need to be clearly related to jobs 
using LLVM technologies.  Closed source positions are fine.  Closed 
source positions that don't want to acknowledge LLVM usage are not. 
General compiler/runtime jobs should not be posted here.  The burden of 
showing a posting is related lies on the author, not on every member of 
the list to be aware of related content.

Having said all that, I had no concerns about the original posting.
