Sorry, I wasn't really meaning to imply anything about you. <cf_apology />
*shrugs* It's a personal thing. If I agree to write an evaluation or
reccommendation, I feel that I should write it, not just sign off on it.
Like I said, it's just me. Probably because I was overly influenced by
guidance counselors who were idiots. We called them the care bears.
As far as grammar goes, I don't have a problem showing the candidate his
review or reccommendation or whatever. For one thing, I feel that if he's
asking for a reccommendation specifically, I'll write one that I think
reflects his strong points and let him decide whether he wants to use it or
not. So he's in control of what goes to the potential employer.
In any case, we already know 'Gel is wierd in his own special way. :-)

: Theres more to it too. Sure you can write his letter but what if

: Either which way Angel, you can be weird whichever way you like.
