I support your decision Jason but I would be a little more blatant in saying it was your account. I was confused sometimes because of the some of the extreme comments you posted.
@elisabeth just because it got your attention does not mean it is best for getting attention. I don't think Jason was using it that way anyway.

The half-hearted entrepreneurs, the wannabes who thought it was going to be easy, the folks with connections to VCs who could get a $5m Series A for a copycat app. Who will be left?
