Myself included. I have quite a bit of tolerance for people posting to a list, but in the case where the poster is so clueless, it's an annoyance. I wonder why the list allows a bulkmailer to post to the list? In fact, you might find it odd that you will rarely see my resume sent to this list, or any other list for that matter, when I am looking for work. I will, and have responded to posts on this list over the years, however. I have obviously offended you and possibly others on the list, and for that I do appologize. I have never been politically correct, and in fact I have a very low tolerance for such ignorance as the poster of that previous message as I do with ignorant, clueless people in the workplace. And yes, let it be a message to all hiring managers who might read this. I do my job, at minimum, and I get my work done in a prompt, and effecient mannor. And quite frankly, my work speaks for itself as do all of the people that I have worked for in the past, who will gladly tell you about the type work I've completed for them. Most of these people were glad to tolerate my occasional behavior in light of the fact that I have consistently out performed most of my colleagues and delivered my projects to them. I see you're from Cornell, most likely using your alumni account. I wasn't so fortunate to spend time at a great university like that. Instead I've been sweating, writing code that runs on systems 24x7, from devices as small as a cell phone to systems as large as a mainframe, but centered around the micro computer. Whatever needs to be done, I find a way to do it to make up for my lack of "formal" education. This can also be considered a short coming that my skills are able to make up for. And lastly, you won't find any certificates on my wall that tell you that I'm Microsoft certified, as the poster was, because I'm not. And I've never needed any piece of such toilet paper to solve real world problems for me. -- Alan DuBoff Software Orchestration, Inc.
