I wouldn't send that response. As a non-advanced-degree person, with "a couple of inferior degrees" (on paper and everything!) it only serves to make people defensive, especially people with useless advanced degrees. The ones with real smarts are not threatened by people who know things without the paper trail. The trick is to make them rewrite the posting to fit you, because they absolutely must have you. Desperation is your friend. Smart people always want calm, capable helpers who know enough to listen and not argue with them. (Else I'd be unemployed - but I enjoy the life of a cog.)
