I wonder if something like this could start a blacklist against 'flaky'
techies (ie, name on a list, picked up by google, etc).

This seems to be a common complaint these days, there was even a newspaper
article the other day. Is the job market so hot that people can afford to
just drop offers like this? Or is it only for a few hotshots?

currently doing the section on the job market, hence the interest ..., and
hence lack of participation in silklist of late )

Why on earth did you make him a second offer after you already knew from
this that he was flaky?

PS - You sure you want to post his name publicly for Google to find, on
Silk?
