Phoenix.pm: UNIX/C/Perl/OO/Oracle/stupid expecatations/out of state/headhunter job

Scott:

Just got back on line a couple of days ago.  My reaction exactly to the 
posted ad.

But you really gotta watch the spelling/grammar/other stuff (you were pissed 
off, I totally understand), or you will end up looking almost as bad as they 
do.  If we are to be successful at letting these little incompetent tyrants 
get the message, we have to be diligent, OK?

Thanks,
Hal
