Thanks Paul, we have no hard feelings and are really excited to hear we were that close. We just want to encourage other startups not to give up.

  If offered a spot now in YC, would you take it? Not going back in time, but actually, now? If so, and if PG has already admitted it was a mistake, what's to stop YC from offering you a spot in their next session and you taking it? Are there no "re-dos" in YC? Just asking.

    I think that decision boils down to what value YC can bring to their company now.

      Many of the companies who apply to YC have this much traction... There's certainly a TON of benefit to be had from YC at their current stage.

      That's my question -- would YC make the offer now, and would the company accept it? Basically, could there possibly be a re-do? The answer might be "no" for both, but it might be "yes". Is applying to YC and accepting a one-shot deal for all parties, or can there ever be a chance to get back together? From the responses and posts, it looks like it's a one-shot deal - either they accept you and you accept the offer, or there's no chance to get together again in the future.
