I'm sure they took out no more than $20,000 for the first three months of marriage, to see if they can make it work and produce someone who can make something that people want. :D

That should be $15,000: $5000 for each co-founder, and $5000 for the startup.

Congrats PG and Jessica!
Congrats PG and Jessica! Coincidentally, your two books sit side by side on my shelf (as I'm sure it does for the YC community).
I always had the thought in the back of my mind that there was something between pg and rtm. pg just speaks exceptionally warmly of rtm, so I considered it a possibility. I am not trying to be insulting or be understood in the wrong way, its just something that came to mind. But anyway, enough with silly thoughts, congrats to pg and jl!

Speaking "warmly" of someone's technical skills/intelligence is an indicator of a sexual interest? I don't get it (seriously).
I just did a site search of paulgraham.com for all mentions of rtm, and the "warmest" mention I found was at http://www.paulgraham.com/heroes.html, which does not seem to me (a heterosexual male if that is of any interest) to indicate anything remotely sexual. Positive? Sure. Exceptionally so? I guess I just don't see it.
Maybe you were referring to some verbal communication you witnessed?

I don't know why you took it so personally. Not to mention that pg dedicated a book to him and always speaks extremely highly of him, it is definitely possible. There's nothing wrong with homsexuality and I intended that post as a joke, so relax.
oh I didn't "take it personally". :-)
I am just trying to follow the thought process (which you have explained above ("intended as a joke") . I was wondering whether this tapped into something culturally specific. No insult of any kind intended.
