Interesting tidbits:
Q:If i have a business plan, how do you want me to send it to you?
A:Have someone who already knows us refer you to us. If you don't know someone who knows us, we are highly unlikely to fund your company as a practical matter.
Advice: I would skip the networking events and spend your time building your reputation through hard (and brilliant) work.

Perhaps, but Reddit has a larger community, and the AMA is a tradition there. I would encourage as many people as possible to go over and ask a few questions. Creating an account takes all of 30 seconds.
It's not often we get to talk to a VC in anonymous setting.. It allows for far more honest answers than you'd see on Blogs, etc.
Let's not speculate about his identify though because it may be possible to figure out who he is and then he will have to stop answering questions.
