Actually the title should be inconsiderate recruiters. The stupid ones are the companies that cannot filter valid criteria from invalid criteria. If a person keeps being let go because of budget issues, that is different from being let go for competence.

You're right. And that's the whole point here - he never asked.

I've have not seen a CV with reason for leaving a gig in many years, I know it used to be part of the standard CV.

You wasted the effort to create that email - the recruiter will just delete it and move on - you're just one of hundreds of unwitting victims that he will piss off on a daily basis by being an untrained parasite.
It's likely that, like many recruiters, he has no understanding of the business he is attempting to leech from and simply plays the numbers game - at some point he will get lucky and make some money.

Well, sometimes tjhat happens. I was teaching at the University of Texas and was asked to stay on full time. IO agreed, buyt the state legislature passed a budget that precludes me continuing, so now I{m looking for a teaching position just about anywhere in the US or South America.
But, on another subject, I filed for full retirement last week, so I can survive without a job.So if I take on any work, it will be because I would find it fun!

I went to an interview and was asked if I had experience of X, I said why yes it's on my CV, the reply was not on the version we have. So I dig out a proper version of my CV the interviewer seemed overjoyed I had experience of X, Y & Z. I then got a copy of the CV that had been sent. It was so badly edited, no mention of the extra courses I have done at Texas Instrument, no radio certifcations etc. I think the agent had taken everything he was not familiar with out!

you'd love the recruiters here in south africa. i'm sure they "perform some magic" on your cv, because how else have i been able to get jobs? i'm sure if they tried, i could get the ceo position at pied piper.

Apologies for the link to my blog[^], but a pic of what my client set up is there, below it is my setup at home for testing the software.
Some of you may know what I mean by when I say, these are ready to be installed in the "club." These are going to a new "facility" in Tijuana (and no, not a prison.)

So, what would a brothel want a setup like that for?

Whenever I read "beaglebone" a mental picture of a beagle chewing a bone pops into my head.

How do the beagle boards compare to arduino and raspberry pi?

He looked at those (and many others!) and my client chose the Beaglebone because of the number of GPA/I2C/SPIO options, but then he ended up adding an extra GPIO chip on it as well. He's also powering them through the Ethernet port, though not sure if that has any bearing on anything.
I guess it was primarily because Derek Malloy[^] has a great book and tons of resources, but I ended up borrowing a bunch of code originally written for the rPI.
That said, he's looking at rev 2, which will probably be an rPI or Arduino.
So, short answer is "no good reason." 
From a historical perspective, he originally had the idea that everything would be coded in C, but there are so many examples and libraries in Python, that when I did the development, I ended up using Python. It's a little annoying that the source is all "in the open", but we've changed all the system passwords, closed down all the ports we don't use, and when I do a software upload, I use a password encrypted zip file.

60 Beaglebones on a test rack?

60 BeagleBones ...  wow !
Perhaps it's better I don't know ... and ... I'm a little afraid to ask ... but, what type of of club in Tijuana will this be ? If you tell me, I promised I won't tell anyone else.
cheers, Bill
