Recruiters without clues

[arroxaneullman -at- aol -dot- com]

Be forewarned: I'm going to rant. But, to make this relevant, I'd like 
to informally poll you all to find out how often recruiters make this 
kind of error:

"I have just viewed your resume on Monster and I have a position for a 
data entry clerk in [location]."

Well the recruiter may have 'viewed' my resume, but obviously didn't 
READ a bit of it. The title is "Technical Writer/Editor" and there is 
only one line which deals with data entry--from a job ten years ago.

I politely replied to the recruiter indicating that there is a 
difference between a 'skilled job' and a 'professional job' and that 
Data Entry Clerk was the former while Technical Writer/Editor is the 
latter.

Would you have responded to the recruiter? If so, how? Moreover, am I 
over-reacting?

Thanks for your input!
