One of my favorite people from my days at Microsoft is Nelson Taggart.
He’s a funny guy and I really enjoy spending time with him.
Today, he sent me a note asking to change a previous blog post of mine.
Why?
Well, if you search on his name, you’ll see a post of mine from 2 years ago where I suggest that “questionable advice” always comes from him.
Of course, it doesn’t. I was being funny (or trying to, at least).
But, someone searching for Nelson may not get that…and may rush to judgment.
That’s his/her fault, of course, as well as mine.
You need to be yourself, but you need to recognize that people who don’t know you may not get what that means.
I don’t have an answer to this one…it’s a situation that we’ll see more of, I’m sure.
