Please take the blatantly discriminatory fundamentalism elsewhere, right now. I also agree that the offer should be on the plug-jobs list, but I'll also object to discrimination there.
Let me be clear, if you're looking for someone who can help you use the C++ code generator you're using, that's your only legitimate criterion that you can legally advertise and use to determine who you might hire. That also goes for any job posting you might log to the plug-jobs list. Just to nail this point home, if anyone at all applies for that job you have just advertised on this mailing list and they have some experience coding successfully using C++ Middleware Writer but you don't hire them for whatever reason, they will likely be able to sue you for employment discrimination - unless they're a member of your own insular Christian fundamentalist church - and win. Think of legal fees, then losing, too, and having to pay someone a year or two years' salary for being a jerk. Unfortunately for you, Woods, you've posted Exhibit A in an employment discrimination lawsuit on a mailing list that is open to public access. That means it's likely too late for you to discriminate against people who might apply for that job, based on whether they share your bigotry.
