This bit of spam I don't get.
1. A bona fide HFI representative wouldn't be using a hotmail address
2. HFI should have no need to spam Usenet with this stuff and I can't
fathom them doing it

It's inconceivable to me that this spammer is even remotely associated
with HFI. What benefit could he possibly get out of this?

It could be a joe-job. Or it could be an enthusiastic but ignorant
junior member of HFI staff.

Because it's SPAM, that's why. And why would you post it unless you're
either a junior member of the HFI staff, or doing a joe-job?

I hope they can you.

Yea... right.

Someone who never posted in these newsgroups before all of a sudden
starts posting SPAM?

You must be a joe-jobber.

The explanation above looked pretty clear to me. Are you asking him to
repeat it?

I have a feeling he has posted before. It's not for nothing he got caught
in my spam filters...

It's unusual for people to read an ad for some arbitrary service with
which they have no affiliation and to be seized by the urge to place a
note about it in multiple Usenet newsgroups in which they don't
participate purely for the benefit of people they don't know. It isn't
unreasonable in these cases to suspect that the note is a more-or-less
disguised ad posted by a person who stands to benefit, directly or
indirectly, from the posting.

One time I saw a real idiot pull a stunt where he made himself out to be
an ordinary consumer just like us who had discovered this fantastic
product that he felt he had to share with us. He got really quiet after
someone pointed out to him that the message's headers revealed that it
had come from the very company that he was pretending only to have
happened upon.

No one. You never identified yourself in any way, which made it
suspicious from the get-go. If you were a regular in these newsgroups,
it would still be spam but the ensuing discussion probably would have
taken a different turn.

Clue deficiency?

Besides the fact that your message is essentially unsolicted advertising
and as such is unwelcome here, it appears as if you signed someone
else's name to it.

"Jim Garrett
Recruiting Manager
Human Factors International"

Jim Garrett is located in Iowa
Your IP indicates that you are located in Spain.

And as was pointed out by someone else:
"It's unusual for people to read an ad for some arbitrary service with
which they have no affiliation and to be seized by the urge to place a
note about it in multiple Usenet newsgroups in which they don't
participate purely for the benefit of people they don't know."

It's not just unusual, but rather unheard of. This sort of thing (to
this extent) is never done by a disinterested third party. There's
always a hidden agenda.

And then when I pulled a sarcy reply, I get a wonderful and highly
informative one back.

Hmm...
