Ehh, that's possible. Given that I seldom get any responses back from them, I can't tell whether they (a) are using a recruiter who hates my guts, (b) are using a recruiter who is utterly incompetent, (c) are doing the recruitment themselves, and are so utterly flat-out busy that they can't fire off a simple email to their applicants, or (d) are doing it themselves, and don't consider failed applicants worthy of an email. Could be any of the above, for all I can tell. Or (e), the job was posted from just outside the Bermuda Triangle. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
