Why did you invest in such a dumb startup ?


Yup, Josh has a history of dumb. I mean, who would invest their time in making an online bookmarking service when browsers had bookmarking capability? Yeah, like that would ever allow you to cash in...

I (like yourself) don't see myself having any interest in this startup--but I'm not the market. I see you are new here (if your account isn't a throw away), but amidst all the down voting you are getting, let me welcome you to HN and say don't build any animosity over getting down voted by the community. It's only because you didn't write a valid argument and instead slapped "dumb" on someone. I believe you have a good argument in you and are probably quite intelligent. I look forward to seeing you contribute on HN in your more capable capacity.


While you start off with some (probably deserved) snark, I want to thank you for the way you wrote your second paragraph. I wish every downvote HN newcomers get came with a comment like that.


Thanks. We're all here for the better of ourselves and others (at least that's how I feel). BTW, I'm going to try one of those crazy jellies from the site you are working on.


Thanks for signing up! (assuming you did)


Thanks. Like I said, I bet on Ze.

Btw I am Joshua, not Josh.


Sorry Joshua!

Next time you are in Philadelphia or NYC I'll buy you a drink. Come to think of it, you are one of a few intellectuals I haven't had the pleasure of bs'ing with anyway. Cheers.


I saw people make that mistake a lot with Philip "Don't Call Me Phil" Greenspun, aka philg@mit.edu.


The userid Joshua is usually taken. I grab Joshu only when I have to...
