Robert Sco­ble is a “Hugh­Mark”.
Mic­ro­soft is not.
So what is Mic­ro­soft going to do about it?
[UPDATE:] Robert ans­wers the ques­tion in the com­ments. And extre­mely well, in my opi­nion.

    Mic­ro­soft hired me! :-)
    We’re tur­ning more peo­ple into Hugh Marks. :-)

    Just as a follo­wup, yes, they hired Robert. They recently pin­ged me for days and times avai­la­ble to speak with someone who was “very inte­res­ted” in tal­king about how I might fit. Then went silent after I pro­vi­ded win­dows in my sche­dule to coor­di­nate a call.
    FWIW, as often as Mic­ro­soft crea­tes a Hugh­mark, they also seem to leave a bite­mark somewhere else.
    Just my two cents. ;-)

    I like “bite­mark.” Or maybe “suck­mark” would be bet­ter. Or “skid­mark.”
    You know, the anti-Hughmark…
    I can see it now, Hugh­marks VS Skid­marks to the death.

    I felt like I had to come update in fair­ness. I’ve now had follow-up con­tact from MS and have a mee­ting sche­du­led. And got­ten yet another ping from another source.
    Maybe the bite­mark is only a scratch­mark. ;-)
