Hiring managers can use any random selection criteria to weed out candidates and seem "fair". I've seen some stupid shit done before in the tech industry like posting a question that requires a certain answer before the candidate will even be considered.

PSSST. hiring manager, just because your job is hard, and you have to see alot of candidates, you can't rely on random shit you just thought of or read from Miss Manners to disqualify good candidates arbitrarily.
If your job is to get the best qualified candidates, not to reduce your list of applicants willy nilly.

Feh.. More incompetence in Human Resources.. who woulda thunk it?

I always send a thank you email, but my industry is paper free these days with all but the actual contract, which is usually a pdf first.
