I wonder what sort of first impression this list's response left
with the recruiter and the his client.
It was posted at a not-so-great time, right when many were 
over-sensitized. Barrier to "getting into the action" was lowered 
considerably. The poster should not be discouraged at all, one 
does need a thick skin on the 'Net. The one posting that mattered, 
Luiz's, wasn't negative.
So you see people unlurking and getting into the act, also you see 
stretching of other threads to hammer in their points-of-views. 
Also, "evil me" posted one reply on the job thing -- this further 
lowered the threshold of itchy fingers.
Quite predictable, this is classic group dynamics, we are just 
like big lab rats. A fascinating psychological experiment... :-) 
(and I do know that again I am inviting more easy attacks by 
posting this. ;-))
