@icey: can u change the title to something that explains the nature of the post? Something like "Super-Angels Colluding to Keep Valuations Down."

I know u just kept the original headline, but it's confusing for people who haven't read the post.

Just a request. 'Tis a VERY important thing for all to read in the community.

Arrington has got a lot of balls to call out so many big players at once. I definitely want to see how this plays out.

Did he actually call anyone out? I thought this was post was extremely light on substance, actually.

He said "it included just about every major angel investor in Silicon Valley" - which people can make easy assumptions about who it is.

I do hope he's wrong, or that this a mistake of some sort. The rise of Angel investors has seen a lot of ideas and entrepreneurs get needed money when they might not have under the traditional VC model.

Something like this, if true, will cause the government to step in, and probably regulate and change things for the worse for a great many people. It won't just hurt these few super angels. It will take everyone with it.
