This reminds me when I use to see a ton of resumes which had "TCP/IP, NetBeui and IPX/SPX" listed on them. Of course these were the 3 checkboxes in the Windows control panel. I am sorry but clicking a checkbox does not denote experience with a particular technology. At first I wasn't allowed to reject them based on just that, after a while it was obvious that anyone that did that usually weren't worth speaking to. We eventually taught HR to not even pass those resumes along for us to review. It really reduced the number we had to look when interviewing for a position.

Which is sad for the few of us who actually implemented network protocols :)
