As do I. .250 would have looked good at certain points, however don't underestimate the people who will take your hints as gospel and get hosed as a result. With our scars comes more than a little responsibility.

Not intending to offend or namecall. I just really think that about a quarter of your points lead to first-time entrepreneurs wasting years of their lives in bad deals.

Andrew, thx for the props. You're my Robert Scoble.

Rafer, I've been called a lot of things (with a name like mine you get used to it), but biased toward VCs is not one of them. Congrats for being the first!

Wow, Andrew, you too? The person on the other side of the negotiation (even theoretically) is exactly the wrong place to go for this sort of guidance.
