wow, hidingmyname, if nothing else, you've inspired one of the most positive and supportive threads I've seen on HN (don't bother checking, I'm still a pseudo-noob).

I can only echo what many others have said in one way or another: be at integrity with yourself, do what you can to support your team and maintain your honour, and I believe that you will look back at this, in 6 months, with some kind of gratitude.

You lived it. :)
