A Dumbass Recruiter Calls

I got a pushy call then and e-mail from D.S. of NJ. (It looks that NJ is a magnet of sorts for dumbass recruiters.)

He kept droning on and on in a broken English about a "Sr. Position in Andover, MA", was not providing technical details and he was asking how soon (ASAP!) I can send him my resume.

Then he e-mailed and showed his true colours. Here are some excerpts that I find particularly insulting:
Question 3: Are you willing to work in the Andover, MA?
If not local to Andover, MA are you willing to relocate/find temporary residence at your own expense?
If not local to Andover, MA are you willing to attend an "in-person" interview at your own expense if required by the client?
Question 5: What is your most competitive Salary? Are you willing to negotiate?
Current Base Salary
Desired Base Salary
Question 6: Do you have any current offers under considerations? (If yes, please include timeframe and details.)
So this moron wants people to come and talk to his client at their own expense and relocate likewise. Plus he wants do down-negotiate a candidate as hard as he can.

Question #6 is downright idiotic as even if I had something in the pipeline I would not tell him.
