If you've got the entrepreneurial itch, even an army of Paul Grahams shouting "NO" at you won't stop you from trying again :-) (though it might provide an interesting basis for a startup idea... imagine you had an army of PG's with their attention focused on you - can you make something out of that?)

Maybe a screenplay - "Seeing PG"

You know...bullshit...make your shit happen...you depend on these people like a little puppy, it pathetic. Grow a set of balls and make your dreams come true...work a real job while you do it if you have to. I came here for real info...and you pissed me off.

I posted this just for people with smart brain to understand how things turns up. Sorry if you thought that this was for everyone - including you.

Note that both of your ideas are in messy, heavily-regulated industries. Perhaps this fact may be partly responsible?

pg has stated a preference for avoiding industries wherein one has to get permission from huge companies to even exist...but then again, Loopt is perhaps his favorite YC company, and it exists only by the blessing of cell carriers. (Though one could build an iPhone/Android Loopt today without anyone's permission, but I reckon you'd have tough competition, since I'm sure Loopt will be in that space as well.)

Couldn't loopt run on WLAN, too?
