I just realised you are the same rabble in "Hatching Twitter"[1] and you were there even during the Odeo days! Since you were too humble to mention it yourself, I thought I point that out to those folks that don't know who y

You (and by extension YC) always seem to mostly focus on the success stories of the alumni/group. Have you or will you consider talking about the failures? If you can't do it, is there a reason why?

slightly off topic - Marc mentions he flies from Geneva to Amsterdam on Monday and vice versa on Friday and Craig's reaction to that seem to be of amazement. I am not from the continent obviously so I looked up the flight times and saw
