I'm not bitter. I never expected to win. I am surprised Amazon even puts on a contest with such lavish prizes. AWS is a low cost way to start an app. They make bootstrapping possible. Therefore, I feel they are doing themselves a disservice by not representing these companies. I merely wanted suggest a way to include small-timers like myself in this contest. And I did it by being honest about how I felt at the time. Would anyone have preferred otherwise? BTW, since then I've been in touch with a great guy from AWS who thought my points were valid. Very cool and unnecessary of him. Maybe next year we'll see a "frugal" category. And maybe by then I'll have received funding and not be eligible :) Anyway thanks everyone who weighed in.
