Entropy Reducers Amalgamated

• One clown from India hawking website and graphic design services.
• One clown offering his outsourced-to-India “audited by KPMG to be CMMi Level 5” solution

Note that I do not poke fun of people for their English writing (in general, although the snippet above is quite amusing), but I do fault people for spamming and blast-responding to every post in Craigslist, and, of course, for not reading. It is one of the things that strongly reduces the value of a posting there—although for $50 for a month, it’s not bad. I suppose I should try Joel Spolsky’s site now.
