Now, the entire piece is over 3k words. It's a commitment, I know. Most people in the world, and sadly commenters in HN of late, seem to follow a pattern of "skim and flame." (i.e. read for 90 seconds, grab a quote out of context and write a flame).
If there are folks who want to ask me questions about the overall theme I'm willing to discuss/debate/take my lashings. All I ask is that:
a) you read the whole thing, wait 60 seconds and then write some questions.
b) submit questions in #/bullet format and try to keep them on the shorter side so I can get to as many of you as possible.
Side note: The Gen Y folks on Hacker News are, in general, the 1/3rd that kick ass. The 1/3rd that I created TechCrunch50, This Week in Startups and Open Angel Forum for. The folks who are doin' work and damage on the daily.
