Is that your opinion or a statement of fact.  Running a business doesn't
grant you license to declare yourself an authority on professionalism. I
think the fact that some people found the information useful and newsworthy,
no matter how much a minority, makes the conversation relevant.

Do you really think your standards of professionalism should be applied to
the whole community, or are those people who have been members of this
community for years who disagree with you not significant?

 I think Alex was in his right to express a bad experience with a recruiting
firm, I bet there are other people on this list who have considered using a
recruiting firm to find Drupal talent who might have found this information
useful. I'm sure no one would complain if Alex has posted an email about a
really great recruiting firm he had found.

Is this not a place for recruiters to share their experiences?
