What's with all these people filling my inbox with emails telling me to
stop filling their inboxes? This is a legitimate conversation from
members of this community and there are people here who want to listen
and participate.<br>
<br>
It seems to me that if you don't like the conversation, you should just delete the message or get the digest mode. Or set up a filter that says if subject line is "A recruiter to watch out for..." delete.<br>
<br>And let the rest of us talk without having rude people in the background telling us to shut up. <br>

Please stop filling up my inbox with this crap!! Both sides have spoken.<br>
Now, hidden motives/agendas aside, please just leave it at that.<br>
