I wish linkedin would allow you to add this stuff to your profile. Ideally the search/spam feature of linkedin that recruiters use, would have to pass your filter before getting sent to you. This way if you get notified at least it passed your filter and you would be OK with it.
That would be a feature I would pay for.

A link to a post like yours would be the perfect response for emails such as:
"Hi James
Please contact me asap or I can call you ??
I'd like to discuss a PHP contract role your perfect for
Speak soon"

Yeah, I'm hoping it will save me some time. Now I can just send them this link each time I get a message, and if they bother following the link, doing as I say, and writing back then I know they are at least serious and not just fishing.

It does come off as a little condescending, but hopefully we can take that to mean that he is really really in love with his current job!

How is it arrogant to state your minimum requirements up front? To me it shows respect for everyone's time and attention.

And yet, an order of magnitude less arrogant than the recruiting attitude that led to its authorship.

If you don't want to get approached by recruiters then don't be on LinkedIn in the first place. This is just my opinion though.
