Just as a test, one HPer friend of mine, as an experiment, posted a job
request for some BOGUS technology that didn't exist on one of the free job
sites with only an e-mail as the contact.  Within DAYS there were postings
of requests for the same technology on Monster and Yahoo! (users of DICE did
not take the bait) along with several dozen 'resumes' boasting several years
of experience in the technology sent to the e-mail address.

I think that I have seen 'requirements' for newer technologies (such as
Perl?
php?) that are greater than the amount of time that the technology has
existed!

I also think that I have seen some Internet resumes that claim such
experience!

Truely a strange world.
