I'm not exactly looking for a co-founder but I'm looking to meet smart people with interesting ideas. I like working on interesting projects whether it's my idea or someone else's. I'm located in Chicago (for now).

From the responses on this page you appear to be correct. What would you suggest?
The pairings that are made today would be best to apply for future cycles later in the year. Most people here you talk to will at best end up as an employee in your eyes, it's going to be hard to treat them as equals when most people are just throwing out soft skills they want filled. My partner and I have known each other since high school but he went off to college while I went into the military. After reconnecting…
In the meantime, back to work.

Thanks. Already been doing some of what you suggest. This just looked like an interesting thread. In the meantime, back to work.

I've even got you stored in my little database as the ERP guy

My email address is in my profile. The email address in your profile is only visible to you and the YC management.
Then, when editing one's HN profile, it could indicate it better (whether the info is shown publicly or not).
What kind of site calls a feature "noprocrast" without giving any detailed information about what it does? Only news.yc!

I wonder why I am being modded down. Maybe I said it too sarcastically. News.YC really does have a terrible interface. Look at the account settings page-- imagine yourself as a user who has never been there before. It's confusing and poorly documented. I love this site for the content and the simplicity, but Paul Graham is a programmer and spent very little time on the user experience, which makes sense. I don't blame him.
But it is still a bad interface. I'm pretty sure 99% of people who fill out the "email" field expect their email to somehow be visible to other users. It's right next to another field that IS visible.

A site for the kind of people who'd try it to find out.
Actually, it is explained in News News (http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html), but maybe most people don't bother looking at that.
