>>>Have you ever hired a psychotic and endangered all your employees?

>Why such an extreme example? How about a woman who had post natal depression seeing jobs going to lesser people and wondering whether it's down to entrenched prejudice that she might be your apocryphal psychotic. As I said, of course issues that affect the candidate's own well being or ability to do a job ought to be available and it ought to be legal to ask that exact question of a candidate or their physician if the job is responsible enough.

>>>I might be a relic of the age of reason, but in general I think that the best outcomes occur when all people involved have all the available facts.

>Actually the age of reason held that a man's home is his castle and celebrated privacy. These days Playboy is to stop publishing naked women because the mystique is gone and many/most potential buyers are accustomed not only to free online porn but to seeing naked others in their own lives because of the prevalence of sexting. I'm presuming your love of openness doesn't extend to that particular habit? ;-)
