Actually you just sound kind of bitter and hostile and while someone 
may be qualified for a job technically, there can easily be interaction 
issues that will keep them from being well suited to the position.  The 
amount of bitterness and vitriol in your short communications with the 
list is enough that if I were interviewing people and had your two 
recent postings as evidence of your interaction with people, I'd be 
hesitant to give a callback.

But that's just my opinion.

At least you're very well spoken (well...written?); I don't have any 
difficulty reading your prose.  That in itself is a skill disappearing 
from new job applicants now.

I have little doubt that you're qualified for such positions; but 
please, try reading back the last two messages you sent to the list and 
see if you can tell where people who never heard from you before may 
see that you're giving a rather hostile first impression...you have 
every right to be peeved at the people who jerked you around in job 
interviews, but that was them, not the people on this list.
