Just had a mail for this.

"I am recruiting for a Senior Java Developer / Agile Evangelist"

Get real.

What is wrong with this? They want someone who is passionate about something and able to explain well its benefits to others, not just a nerd who can code.

Explaining something and droaning on about something with no real proven benefits are two different beasts. My experience leads me to suspect that an evangelist falls into the latter category.
