Wow. How did we get from talking about banning job recruiters on this list
two weeks ago to telling each other we need to mind our manners so as not to
offend those same recruiters?

Sure, I could simply ignore the posting or print it out for my cubicle and
yes, I did chuckle about it a bit and at the same time wondered what other
folks thought about it. Thus my question, to a group where questioning
things is part and parcel of what we do. At the same time I also was truly
curious whether this sort of description is typical. I haven't been job
hunting in many a year.

If recruiters can't stand the scrutiny, well maybe this isn't the right
forum for them. I enjoy reading the job postings as it does in fact educate
me about what's going on. But to suggest we simply accept what's in there
and not question or challenge it is rather naive.

For the record, I'm not hiding behind my email address or keyboard or
anywhere else. My name is Ed Holzinger, I live in Montgomery County, if you
want my phone number, msg me and i'll send it to you. I regularly attend
DC-PHP meetings and am known, to those who attend, as a bit of a snark and
somewhat of a troublemaker. I work downtown (regular meeting attendees know
where and I will tell you in a private msg if you ask) and am willing to
meet whomever thinks I'm hiding at any time and any place.

And it's nit-picking. My daughter knit-picks, and quite well. I wear one of
her scarves when it's cold and windy.
