I can. The odds that anything dating back more than 10 years
will be relevant to an open position are fairly slim, especially for
an individual contributor, and if there's 25 years of experience
in a resume and most of it doesn't support an application for the
current position it tends to suggest an inability to focus on critical
subject matter and trim the irrelevant.

When I was laid off a year ago, I posted my resume on Dice and Monster. I
received very few calls, although my resume showed 25 years of good
experience. After knocking off the first 10 years and taking out references
to old technology, I received many more calls and emails. I can't explain
that with anything other than age discrimination.
