Why not split the "Freelancer? Seeking freelancers?" thread in two?
Seems to me that you're either looking for work, or looking for somebody to hire. So in the "Freelancer/Seeking freelancers" threads (for example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2949790 ), half of the content is not relevant to the reader.
Splitting the thread in two (i.e. into "freelancers" and "seeking freelancers") would make the page easier to read, and it would also make it much easier to search the page for specific keywords.
