Add "Crystal Reports" and "MUMPS" to the "do not put on resume" list.

And RPG/400. I took two semesters of that in college, but (thankfully) never got roped into programming in it professionally. I'm honestly not sure you could pay me enough to write RPG code, even if you were Bill Gates. Just thinking about using SEU (Source Entry Utility, IIRC) to program in that column oriented nightmare gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Somebody should create a CV with years of experience in all the worst technologies and circulate it through all the worst recruiters and see what happens.

Aha, a CV honeypot! You could harvest the names of all the recruiters that take an interest, then publish a blacklist for legitimate job seekers so they would know who not to talk to. :)
