Really? As far as most exec's are concerned content of a mailing list 
(expecially a technical one) would be useless information. They will 
quite happily trust a confident and well stated individual present in 
front of them than a few hundred pages of e-mail to/from random 
individuals accross the planet.

Furhtermore, the number of utterly appalling 
engineers/techs/consultants/developers/managers I have seen out there, 
they all get employed somehow despite clearly lieing, being totally 
incompetent and many other failings. Did you genuinely think about what 
your were saying when you chose the word "unemployable"?
