Re:Ineffective Entrepreneurship: Post-Mortem of Hippo

Hello! As the person who wrote the post (but didn't put it here and only just found out someone else did) I found the fact you were annoyed at me for claiming to be an entrepreneur confusing. I found it confusing because as at no point did I claim that.
The title of the post is "... the app that never quite was" and the first line of a post states "I spent I spent two and half years trying to start a startup". The story is how I spent loads of time, failed to succeed in any interesting way, feel kind of embarrassed about it, and want this to be a lesson to other "asipirant effective entrepreneurs". Note the use of 'never quite was', 'trying', and 'aspirant'. I'm not sure I could have told my story of non-failure (failing even to fail) in a less aggrandising way.
I welcome your suggestions on this last point, if you have any.
