You have met this man then ?

- or have you just met his 'type' and so dismiss all recruiters in the same 
way that many people dismiss geeks ...

The Smoothwall project is an example where the maintainers tendency to rant 
is in danger of overshadowing the entire project

abuse of (nearly) all recruiters who appear on this list is damaging to the 
Linux job market at a time when many people are affecyed by a slowing economy.

I am not suggesting that recruiters be made a part of this list - I am just 
saying that I don't want any recruiter coming here to leave thinking "these 
linux geeks may be clever, but I don't want to work with them".
