UGH! This is a stupid thread! Languages, to a programmer, are like hammers to a carpenter: Sometimes you need a 16oz hammer, sometimes you need a 10oz hammer, sometimes you need a nailgun and other times you just need the heel of your shoe.
On the other hand, languages and programmers, to a recruiter, mean nothing unless he can get you to buy his bullshit. If somebody wants the job, and likes the crap that the recruiter offers, then s/he should apply. But in general, I agree with the first responder: "Can we get this guy (the recruiter) booted from the list?" This has nothing to do with asterisk. lane P.S. Anybody that can construct an "if-then" statement, whatever the language, is a programmer. If you don't believe that then you must feel very alone in your ivory tower.
