Heh, sbisker, don't you remember? We launched Tinfoil Security as a Show HN before we'd actually built anything and got great feedback. I'm not posting this as a measure of 'success' as much as a measure of a product that still exists, has raised venture funding, and is still trying to become a huge business. :)

...ok, I think I just got told. I actually had forgotten we did that. :P

Ha, didn't mean for it to come off as snarky, though I suppose I'm okay with that tone too. :)
