Having seenan HR person (OK, OK, he was a headhunter) mangle Digital's
networking protocol into DELNET (should have been DECNET, like Digital
Equipment Company), I'm guessing it's possible that the HR person took a
couple of lists like this:

Unix, Java; Apache, WebLogic, ASP, COM, VB Scripting; IIS, Load Runner;
seven years.
HTML; ten years;
Firewall experience, Linux, SQL. five years;

And they decided to expand it or .. punch it up a little. Of course, one
wonders why the person they want is supposed to have seven years of Unix but
only five years of Linux. Is that what the exchange rate is on Unix to Linux
these days?
