#84I find this entire approach fascinating. That someone can post this on HN and get a bunch of invites back. Does doing something like this scale? What if everybody just decided to post "hey I'm coming to SF is there a place for me to crash" or "hey I'm coming to NYC anyone want to have coffee?" or "I have a problem writing perl..." Since there are companies that you are trying to reach, and you must have some idea of…

Why not congratulate OP for his initiative. The fact that som many people are responding so positively gives new members of the community (like myself) a wonderful impression of how helpful people are here. Look how many people are pitching in to help this person without any expectation of return.

The fact that he's not a top commenter is even more inspiring. It shows that if someone has a good concept, takes initiative and quells any fear that "oh I'm not a big guy/girl on HN,I can't be that audacious" - well that person will get results.
Reminds me of Geothe's timeless words, "...boldness has genius, power and magic in it".
