> Its not semantics at all, you just are excusing your own misunderstanding. He didn't describe himself with a job title, and he even explicitly states directly after listing those awards, that he is not an employee of Microsoft.
Yes, I agree. (I believe you think I am arguing against this; for clarity, I am not).
> Extending your logic, I have a CCIE, so if I ever state I'm a CCIE, I'm an employee of Cisco? I have a masters degree by coursework from a university, so I I ever state I have an Msc, I'm an employee of the university?

I think these are poor examples and reinforce that the confusion was reasonable. That is the only point I've been arguing in this thread.
