I think that Scot's intentions were fundamentally good, but there were two
problems with what he posted:
1) There appeared to be one or two cover letters to a couple of the
employers on the list included in what Scot posted;
2) The stuff that wasn't personal -- what could have been of interest to
the rest of us -- was poorly formatted.
Yet another example of why you should follow Rule of Posting #1,7286: always
check what you're about to post BEFORE you post it.
