This statment Andrew made brought to mind a question I've had for a while?
The question is sort of a tangent to Andrew's post. But don't worry, it's
not about the meaning of truth : )

Though I'm not looking for a job right now, I've always wondered how I
would handle the following scenario:

You see an job ad for a technical writer. As with all job ads, it has a
list of requirements. You happen meet all the requirements but one:

MUST have 3 YEARS EXPERIENCE with AdobeSoft WordMaker.

You are an expert in the technology that company specializes in. But you
don't 3 years experience with AdobeSoft WordMaker. And other than that, you
feel you are more than capable to handle the job.

Would you apply for the position or not?

Just curious to see what the List would do.

What few opions I have are my own and not CDI's or IBM's
