As I said, your point on the matter of job hunting was well taken. But
there is no call in personally attacking a member of this list (which is
the point I am attempting to get across to you).

Personally, I tend to not hire folks that are slow learners rather than
those that don't have the right look/sound/writing/etc. Of course,
impressing these ideals on HR is an ongoing challenge at most companies.
