It doesn't seem honest to say that Hulist+Hackerarchy+JobBook=Scribd. That's like saying 0+0+0=1. ;-)

The whole is more than the sum of its parts?

Or you should be casting to float ;)

Of course. You miss my meaning. Scribd = 1 (ie. cool company doing good things), and 0's being unsuccessful attempts. We're allowed unsuccessful attempts. I sure have a couple under my belt. ;-)

I understand what point the Scribds' are trying to make, but knowing their history, I just thought I'd call them out on their white lie.
