In the future, you could ask the "headhunter", "How many years has Visual FoxPro been around?"

Of course the ironic part is that the headhunter's customer probably understands what they are asking for - a person who knows VFP and has 10+ years experience in the language and it's forebears. But whoever took down the order at the headhunting agency did not understand, and truncated the work order accordingly. I have had this very conversation with headhunters before myself. Don't worry. Their lack of knowledge is "industry standard".

>Interesting. Just got a call from a headhunter that said they wanted someone with 10+ years Visual Foxpro experience. When I argued the point, they said nevermind and hung up :) Just wanted to make sure I was correct!
