I've also had lots of experience with low grade recruiters.  In one
instance, I got a call asking about my experience with a certain
software package, that I'd never even heard of.  It turns out, that
package had the same name as a company I had done some work for and the
recruiter had simply done a word search and didn't bother reading what
turned up.
