I do understand your sentiment, I was flattered when I first moved the to bay area, with all the recruiters sending me emails, and I would politely reply telling them that I'm not available (because of my immigration status).

But, the problem is that it's the same template, and most of the recruiters haven't even bothered to check the message that they sent (I think they are using some software to send these emails).

My name has an apostrophe in it, when the email starts with

    Hi Ala',

I know that he didn't check anything, and he is not interested in me, but in anyone.

When the email contains a lot of false statements, like

    Your experience in Python is impressive.

given that I don't use python, and my knowledge in it is very limited.

When you are receiving these emails 10 times a week, it becomes annoying.

Yes, I had my university project on my CV - which was comparing Perl, PHP and Java for a task. I didn't do any of the PHP code, yet I was constantly sent jobs for PHP because it obviously hits their keyword search.
