As part of this "startup community", might I just say that I have no idea who Andrew Baron is and do not feel alienated

I apologize that my attempt at understatement implied that he alienated the ENTIRE community, of which I am also a member, in perpetuity. Does your pedanticism extend to coding or design? We're hiring!

Consider yourself lucky that the NYC tech community expanded to the point that people don't even know who he is.

Hahah I would say it does. I suppose I do! ;-) Have a nice day sir or madam!

My name is Andrew Baron and I do not approve of this message.

> Business dealings aside, he just isn't smart.

This is a gratuitous personal slam and therefore not appropriate in an HN comment.
