Others said they had no interest in creating a blog because social networking did a good enough job keeping them in touch with friends and family."

Spammer recruiter won't take no for an answer

This miscreant keeps spamming me, even if I tell him to leave me alone since I have been at this job for over four years and I am not even in the market (seriously, I even deleted all of my resume accounts, I don't know where he got mine!) . I couldn't take it anymore, so I made a Tiny URL link that points to Lemon Party and sent it to him as my "resume."   What I hate about him is his outright hypocrisy, take a look at this: He adds that signature block to every email, and it is a lie !

How the hell is he still gainfully employed? Related articles by Zemanta SPAMMER ALERT: ResearchMyName.com Questions (growmap.com) Outsmarting the Spammers (dcrblogs.com)
