After I responded to Rosalind Resnick's  remark
about everyone here receiving Joan Kite's resume as an attached file:
>>I am now prejudiced against even if I later
>>do receive her resume by other means. An ingenius use of this medium, indeed.

Joan Kite  responded:
>Based on your quick need to judge, I don't think working for you would be
>beneficial to me anyway. I've become quite accustomed to being unfairly
>judged and prejudiced against, Vin. It sounds more like your issue then
>mine. I, too, toss attachments when I receive them without notice. Mistakes
>do happen. BTW, forgiveness is virtue I try to practice daily.
>
>>
>>I hope all the job seekers reading this consider that example.
>
>Same here.

Perhaps you're right, Joan, and I have unfairly judged you. But when I saw
the comment by your editor, Rosalind Resnick...

>I'm flattered that my reputation precedes me. However, I cannot take 
>credit for Joan's ingenuity, er, mistake. ;)

...it certainly led me to consider that your sending all of us your resume
might actually have been disguised as a mistake. That is why my posting was
nominally in reply to Rosalind allusion about 'ingenuity.' If the incident
was legitimately a mistake, then I owe you -- and now offer you -- my apology.

However, my comment still objectively stands. Any job seeker who
unsolicitedly sends a resume as an attached file to thousands of people on
an industry discussion list (ironically, at a time when the list was
discussing spams) will be practicing a troubling form of spamming. It
shouldn't surprise you, me, or anyone else if that job seeker would be
treated with prejudice by the recipient. The last thing this listserv needs
is every job seeker sending everyone here unsolicited resumes as attached
files (another reason for my quick reply to Rosalind's 'ingenuity' allusion).

And you are right, it is indeed more like my issue than yours, and my quick
need to judge: Email is my business. I spend too many hours each month
combatting spammers, which requires quick response.

Despite Rosalind's allusion, I gather than I am wrong about the happenstance
of your mass transmission of your resume. Please do accept my apology.

Sincerely,
