Barry the recruiter

It's an unfortunate reality that some receive a ton of recruiter spam offering positions that bear no relation to their current skill set.

I had kindly asked to stop being contacted since I had left the country many years before. Hopefully, they would finally get the message.

Hi Barry,

I am not a Perl Developer. I am a PHP developer. I left the world of IT to become a Castrato. I sing to monks in Italy. My rendition of 'Sunshine on a rainy day' is second to none.

What kind of music do you like ?
