As with vendors, I feel recruiters should abide by the "netiquette" rules
that apply to all of us.  Having "been-there, done-that" as a lab rat, I
certainly appreciated knowing about job opportunities that were available
back then.  I would not want to deny anyone else this information, then or
now.

What I do resent is the pirating of my personal e-mail address off of the
Histonet, by certain recruiters, and then used to send personal e-mails to
my address - either as spam, or to request my assistance in helping them
fill one of their positions.  This has happened, and it is NOT appreciated.
