That really isn't pertinent to anything.

To leave room for yours I take it? Did you have anything of value to add to
the discussion ? Note that my news software just picked up the list from
Mr. Shelley's original posting. (You used the same list fella).
I decided to let the issue die until you dragged it up so I'll summarize
my obnoxious opinion. I really hate to see some young person miss out on
employment opportunities because they did a poor job on a cover letter.
To be fairI went back and read the whole thing and quite frankly the
guy makes himself sound like a Vulcan ( mythical creature from popular TV
science fiction series).
I wanted to point out some flaws in the resume to stimulate a rework. I don't
think I made a personal attack.I didn't tell him to study Cobol or IDMS/R.
All I suggested was that he rework the tone to achieve the effect he desires
(which is a job interview). I apologize for my footsoldier metaphor which seems
to have gone over his head but this also serves to prove that people don't
always read what you thinkyou wrote.
(Kind of makes me wonder why I bother to contribute to the old alma mater when
they call me up.)

however, match my financial contributions to UniWat alumni fundraising.
