But good netiquette and document format may be prima facia indicators of technical ability. In a hirer's market, when one may get hundreds of resumes per opening, that may be enough to get an application tossed. So the wise applicant will pay attention to such things. Also to spelling, grammar, etc. Would the applicant want to work for someone who prejudges an applicant based on such criteria? Maybe not. Then again, it may be better than no job at all. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
