ESR got an email from a Microsoft recruiter who was told by a Microsoft research team that he be would be a good candidate for employment. The recruiter neglected to do any background research on Eric before sending out the email. Something tells me that the research team didn't like the recruiter much and wanted to see something funny happen. It did.. As expected, Eric's response was nice, but in a way with teeth.
Read Eric's response and have a good laugh.
Slashdot reports that the recruiter's email address indicates that he is an outside contractor. A nice joke, though :)
