Like lots of other readers, I find the recent postings from sol1!sol annoying.
It's not particularly because they're from a headhunter, but because they're
totally vacuous.

Here are a few guidelines for postings to net.jobs:

  1.  No blind messages.  Each message must give the name and location of
      the organization offering the job (or the name of the person asking
      for the job.)

  2.  The description of the job must be longer than the description of the
      fringe benefits (unless the fringes are the only reason to take the
      job, in which case nobody would want it anyway.)

  3.  No more than one exclamation point per line.

  4.  Maximum overall length of 40 lines.  Offer to send longer descriptions
      by mail.

Violators will be disciplined by sending neatly typed letters to their
bosses explaining that their messages were offensive and so no net reader
will ever consider working for that organization (and net readers, after all,
are the creme de la creme of the Unix community, aren't we?)
