SPUG: Avoid this recruiter?

[Steve Cartoon]

G'day!
   I was able to contact this guy yesterday. He told me the location of the 
jobs were in Seattle and BALLARD, not BELLINGHAM.
   Sheesh. Perl/Web development jobs (or indeed any sort of computing jobs) 
are apparently non-existent in Skagit or Whatcom Counties, so this lead 
turned out to be a really big disappointment.
   But giving out disappointment would appear to be this guy's main 
pleasure...I really hate 'technical recruiters'...most of them don't have a 
fraction of our knowledge and probably use O'Reilly books to prop up their 
tables or boost up their flowerpots...
   Anyways, just wanted to let you lot know that he gave me a different job 
location area...

   Be seeing you...

"Where am I?"
"Well, you can't get there from here."
"But I'm looking for the same old place!"
"Oh, you must mean the old Same place. It's right out back."
