I love the way he answered the "why raise money Josh when you obviously can self-finance this venture?"
From the comments (which with the exception of one very stupid 'blind leading blind' reference is actually quite good so far):
An angel round is a good way to get a lot of people who are a great deal smarter than myself on my side and involved.
I’m a pretty junior angel. I don’t invest big dollars, nor do I lead deals. I think I bring product sense and ideas, and being an angel is a fun way to be a part of the story.

- joshu 16y agoThanks. I don't look at it as "ways to create new wealth," though. It's more "I must get this idea out of my head"
- rooshdi 16y agoYes, freeing ideas frees ourselves and our users in the process. I think that's a much more motivating justification for launching projects than any amount of wealth potentially being created. I can't wait to see what you're creating this time and wish you all the best.
- davidw 16y agoIt's nice to hear you say that because that's my own approach to things - you get an idea that you must act on. I just wish I'd get one that would make me lots of money:-)
