Possible solve, though I'm not sure what to do with it:

florenceSPLATwildfireindustries.com got a bounce. I wasn't expecting it to work anyway. And since the new e-mail address is from wildfireindustries.com...

http://www.wildfireindustries.com/ just has a splash image that says 'Wildfire|Industries, get hired.January 2005'.

http://www.rainmangroup.com/ has a splash image that says 'The Rainman Group, Website down due to death of programmer. We will have this error corrected in due time.'

I'd have to wonder what kind of company openly admits they're hung up because of the death of the programmer, especially given that in the "recruitment chat" they admitted he'd committed suicide.

Shook the versimilitude of things just a bit, I'll confess.

No one else got the first email from them before this? Huh. I'll post the text below - it says who LClockheart is.

We're supposed to talk to her on AIM. I just had my initial interview.

Huh. Must just be bad luck with timing then for me.

Hmm. I had mine over the weekend. I'll get a log assembled and posted. Very oddball.

(Also, as of now, 12:00 pm Eastern time, I see LClockheart on AIM, and just had a quick chatter -- so you may want to say hello now!)

The name Clockheart suggests to me some form of clockwork automaton (i.e. a robot, cyborg). Something to keep in mind when speaking to her, perhaps.

Just scheduled my interview with her. I don't think she's a bot, as I had certain difficulties like not being able to connect to IRC and then I also screwed a file transfer compliments of the company firewall so we had to reschedule. I think there's no way she's a bot because of how she reacted to this issues...
Also if you meant an actual robot, she seemed to show emotion, so in my opinion she's flesh and bone...

Yeah, like an actual cyborg or something. Not an AIM chatbot. If you have a computer AI why not have a robot run by an AI?

If it's an AI, it's a convincing one. It reacted with emotions and certainly seemed embarassed at the interview questions -- which included "Are you hot?" and "Boxers or Briefs?"

The possibility of 'borging is there, but I haven't seen evidence that WI engages in cybernetics yet.

Still a possibility, though. I thought something similar with Clockheart too...
