Funny email from a recruiter (start from the bottom). The point I made to her is that if she uses offensive techniques to find employees it just may work, and poor iXL will end up with a bunch of employees who think spamming is a healthy use of the Internet.

Hmmmmm, so after being "sourced" by your 
research department you're now "networking." 
Could another way of phrasing this be a 
spider found my name on the Internet and 
now you're spamming me? ;-)

Hi Victor- We have a large research dept. 
and they sourced you.  I don't
know specifically how they found you, but 
it was through the Internet. When
they find information for us, they pass 
it along to the Recruiting team.

Thanks,
Tracy
