"the anonymous HN commenter is talking out of his ass" Anonymous commenter versus 11-hour old throwaway account... who wins? Looking at a few words in your rebuttal above and combining it with the tone you're using, I can come up with quite a few reasons you might not have gotten the discount you sought. I'd suggest you put down the "CTO email list" and let an actual business person handle this for you. Handshakes and existing relationships still matter in this world. Good luck!
