1) How big a startup is this; two full time engineers giving up their jobs at Apple, or two undergrads doing a summer project? 2) Your talking about a board already, but you just met this guy. Are you already funded?

I thought his letter was really distasteful and out of touch. I mean, does he know for sure that this was a VC motivated initiative? Coincidentally enough, I'm working on a site (howl.com, check the ask HN section) that pretty much exactly
