1. This has been a rare occurance. Consider yourselves lucky.

2. You guys don't like jobs? I think Theron has got it right.

3. I've now seen 30 times more "whining" emails on this list than the 
original one or two from the headhunter.

So... looks like the "collateral damage" has been worse than the 
original damage.

In the future, Ms. Headhunter, it would be nice to to thru "official 
channels" to make this kind of posting rather than harvesting email 
addresses from a list. But we all know Headhunters sleep during the day 
and can't see their reflections in the mirror...
