    Frustrating. Hard to evaluate as a biz idea without knowing how valuable these things are - much energy/heat they would actually provide. Also, I don't see a reason why it couldn't…

    Congrats guys. Very cool product. We've found lots of opportunity to make email marketing more sophisticated, and not enough smart engineers thinking about it. BTW There's a belgia…
