[IxDA Discuss] Amusing job post - UX researcher, mad SQL 2000 skillz required

[Dmitry Nekrasovski]

This is almost as funny as the "interaction designer, must be a C++
expert" job posting that provoked a huge discussion on this list a
little while ago.

Coincidentally (or not?), this also comes from a recruiter working
with a certain large Redmond-based company. :)
