Jason Simmons commented on TM Claude's blog post 'Advanced Google Search for Recruiters'"TM, my comment was not intended to out "know-ya". Apologies if it came off in that way. I was just trying to add constructive value to the post. It might have helped to know you were planning on adding additional information at a…"
Jason Simmons commented on TM Claude's blog post 'Advanced Google Search for Recruiters'"TM, while I agree with the above comments. There are MUCH better search algorithms out there to manipulate/target Google, yahoo, bing and the like. This is the most generic of any search string or Boolean technology.

Sandra McCartt commented on Jason Simmons's blog post 'Tips for Motivation/Burnout'"Like i said, one can not reason with a poo slinging monkey, they don't recognize their poo as poo.
