The manager at my last job also said he had looked at some of my posts on IBM-Main. I don't know if that helped or hindered his decision. I suspect if I had said some idiotic things recently that I would have been tossed out of the running for the job.
I know several years ago, my account rep from CA called me at work about a post I had made about a product that CA gave us. I wasn't working on the product, but the sysprog that was working on it couldn't get certain jobs to work with their product. I made a factual comment, and she got all upset about it.
