[Tfug] OT A word of thanks

[Matt Jacob]

Hey Bowie,

Just an FYI: I received duplicate copies of several of your messages 
earlier today, and I assume others did as well (that's why this is going 
to the entire list instead of just to you). It looks like you're 
including TFUG twice in your To: headers somehow:

If the half a dozen or so people i've had the task of hiring over the years, I only sat down with one and explained to him why he wasn't going to get the job---And that was only because he was a kid, and so blatantly lied on his resume' that I wanted to shame him into being honest for his own sake.
