   Hi Michelle,   
      
   In general I agree with you but the question was in the context of a job   
   application and that makes a difference in my book. He even admitted that he   
   wanted to increase his chances of getting the job using the information   
   provided. I have a problem with this and see right through it, as others do.   
   Ther is nothing more to say.   
      
   Leslie.
