I'm curious, if you have a moment PG: how much does not doing something like that peeve you?

On the one hand, such detail-oriented mistakes aren't necessarily bad, especially in people who know how to notice when they miss them and it matters.

On the other hand, sometimes details can kill you: You show up 15 minutes late when it matters.

Does someone not including their e-mail ever push you from "go" to "no go" on an application? Why or why not?



I suspect that, by the time they check the profile for an email, they've committed enough to at least try and contact the guy some other way.


Well they probably have and automated script for rejection letters. Too many applications to do by hand.


I don't think PG or anyone is peeved by it. It's just that if your email isn't in your profile, you won't get notified.
