as i inspect the car crash...

... that is the comments on Brad's acquisition announcement, i have concluded that:

• People can't be bothered to read something before opening their goddamn yap and asking a question that was already answered in the announcement.
• DRAMA!  SELF-RIGHTEOUS OUTRAGE!  ANGST!  These people probably need a hydraulic speculum to open their asses when they go do #2.
• Mocking these people is fun, although it doesn't hold a candle to the mid-`90s on Usenet.

Oh well, at least it entertains me.

Actually, I'd have to say that if people are only starting companies to make money and that's all, that the entrepreneurial spirit is dead. If a positive return is REQUIRED on all ventures, capitalism is doomed. There must be something else - personal contentment, satisfaction of accomplishment, egotism -- that makes the head guy get out of bed in the morning when cash flow hasn't started and venture capital people won't return your calls but the bank does, because you're $0.50 away from being overdrawn and payroll is this week.

It's only after the energy and adrenaline and control diminish that the life investment begins to need a more worldly payback.
