No, just complaining. ;-)

I've seen adverts with phrasing that could have been interpreted as
having meant "minimum 10 years .NET experience", and that was a couple
of years ago. Of course, despite the presumed lack of knowledge of the
recruiter who wrote the advert, it's quite possible that something else
was meant, but the quality of prose in such adverts is usually either
so poor that you wonder whether "good written communication skills"
wouldn't also be beneficial in the recruitment business, or the text
merely consists of a checklist of recruitment clichés, that it's hard
to know exactly what they're getting at sometimes.
