So here it is, in it's full glory.
(Me) Thought you might find this interesting, Captain Wasteo.

It applies to people like you.



(Jason) I'm sorry, who are you?

(Me) One of the many people who don't like you, and find your "startup" attempts pretty worthless.

(Jason) 1. Clearly you don't hate me, you're obsessed with me. Why else would you email?

2. Your advice is based on what success exactly?


Best j



(Me) 1.  No.  I emailed you because I like getting the people I'm offending riled up.

2.  a)  I'm 20.  You're an old man.  I have time.
b)  I'd rather have no success than the "success" you've had.  Training a bunch of monkeys to manually type in the results from Google is not running a startup-  it's a low-level temp agency for manual data entry.  And I wouldn't even begin to call Mahalo, or any other number of Web 2.0 startups, a success.

Not the best.



(Jason) Blahblahblah....

Now consider this:  Jason thinks of himself as a god among men, with lots of experience and success that he can rain down upon us from his own slice of Heaven.  But when you respond so defensively and immaturely... doesn't that ruin your credibility?
