I disagree, I think this post was in good faith and should be treated as

The difference, I hate to say, is relatively minor in the eyes of most 
recruiters.  The skill sets do strongly overlap, I suspect many Solaris 
admins are floating around on this list.  I'd object more to a Windows 
Server admin with .NET experience ad even though they are both different 
operating systems, perhaps that's my bias creeping through.

The subject was Job Opportunity - Unix Systems Administrator (Solaris)
That makes it very very clear to me exactly what it is and I can easily 
skip past it.  Personally I don't really see the difference between the 
subject starting with [JOB] and Job, these emails only come in every few 
months.

Boo Hoo.  It was 2570 bytes, 2.6K.  Are you receiving your email through 
morse code?

Yeah, I hate them all too.  I generally don't waste time posting to the 
list about them though.

PS: I'm horribly biased as I'm currently looking for work.  This job 
doesn't tick my boxes though, nor I theirs.
