Is Christopher Poole really moot's real/birth name?

I will ask to see his birth certificate. My mother has met Moot... I should demand to meet his mom.

I realize this is getting off-topic from investing, but since that's the spirit of an AMA, is there an interesting story re: your mother meeting moot?

What are you wearing?

I am wearing a red "foo camp" tee shirt from 2007, jeans possibly from j-crew, and white gym socks I bought at walmart.

a year or two ago I threw out all my mismatched pairs of socks and bought all identical white socks. now I do not have to match and fold the socks when washing them. I just pile them into the drawer.

Not really. It was after this event: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/19/arts/design/19rhizome.html and I wanted to go to a diner.

Whats the best place to raise $200k for an early-stage internet startup. A single angel? A group of angels? A seed fund?

I guess anything that works. In my experience, companies raising less than 500k are making a huge mistake.

Why do you think that?
