Subject:Recruiters STILL don't get it From:Bill Hartzer <XBJH%mimi -at- MAGIC -dot- ITG -dot- TI -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 9 Aug 1996 13:30:29 -0500
What's wrong with this job listing that I came across on the internet

programmer/analyst positions require technical writing skills? This is
probably a mistake, but unfortunately it's all too typical of the
recruiting industry nowadays.
