That would muddy the core message of 'buck up and keep at it' and turn it into a "take that" at YC, which does not seem to be intended. Being anonymous makes sense here, I think. (I actually clicked through to see if it needed to be flagged because it could be a "take that" and it's not.)

Bingo. YC is changing how the valley works, for the better, and should be recognized as doing so.

Additionally, running a (venture backed) company already puts enough scrutiny on me as a person and I'm in no hurry to increase that :)

Good to know.

Again, well done on your recent success. Now the real work (and fun) begins :-)
