    What dont you get, i am simply asking people to post their IT employment

    We can see what qualifications everyone has but not experiance

    Both are equally important in IT

    If you feel it is imposing then just dont reply

    Not imposing. Don't understand the infant, pre-born, short bus, authoritative, secondary stuff. Use to seeing a format describing time periods with job descriptions and their titles.
