I understand the feelings toward the midwest, but you also made a reference that its not like the "coast" do you think there are other areas that are well suited for startups, such as boston, NYC, or Atlanta?

Why is it so difficult for people to "get you?" You're clearly a bright a dinosaur and usually trying to give us a kick in the ass or some helpful advice. I always find it hysterical that so many people giggle at you and think you're a joke.

SOME PEOPLE AFRAID OF TRUTH. NOT READY TO CONFRONT OWN FAIL.

OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NO SOUL. NOT READY FOR ANYTHING "SILLY."

SOME PEOPLE JUST DUMB. ABOUT 80% OR SO.

FIND CENTERS OF GRAVITY. THEY PULL TALENT, MONEY, SMASH TOGETHER UNTIL EXPLODE.

NEW YORK. BOSTON. VALLEY.

USUALLY HAVE THIS COMBO:

1. VCS/MENTORS FROM EARLIER BIG EXITS

2. LOCAL COLLEGES PRODUCE SUPPLY OF YOUNG TECHIES

3. LOCAL BIG TECH COMPANIES FEED YOUNG TECHIES UNTIL READY TO START UP

4. HAVE DENSE URBAN CENTER WHERE EASY TO MEET FUTURE COFOUNDERS, PEERS

DC AREA MATCH THIS, HAVE EMERGING TECH SCENE. THAT WHY GRIMLOCK THERE.

NOT SURE ABOUT ATLANTA.

Can someone explain the downvoting of FAKEGRIMLOCK's comments? I find them insightful, substantive, and hilarious, but is some HN norm being stepped on?

This is very puzzling. Also - why isn't this front page yet?
