#3I don't think I would like it if I knew a e-mail intended to be personal ended up on techcrunch. I don't think the leaking of these personal e-mails is very polite.

#5I wonder if people will start using public-key encryption or something to encrypt mails so that only certain recipients can read them.

Presumably this wouldn't help because the recipients can always copy out the plaintext of the message to send to TC or whomever. (Unless you're suggesting that TC is intercepting the emails as they travel over the wire, which is quite dubious.)

Do you really think these emails are being intercepted by third parties? Surely the recipients are leaking them and no encryption scheme can prevent that.

#8My summary (I did my best to represent the gist of what Sacca was saying):
Chris Sacca considers Ron Conway a mentor and greatly respects him. However, he was "hurt" by Conways email. Sacca was at the first meeting, not the second. He wishes Conway had been there, since they would have liked his input on the things they talked about: standard docs for financing, pro-rata rights ("early investors continuing to stay involved"), futility of VCs blocking company sales, giving more liquidity to founders.
He said they are all pro entrepreneurs, they coach entrepreneurs along the way, and they 'bleed' just as much as founders do. Sacca's first deal was paid with a credit card check, which was stupid but he wanted to help.
Because of Twitter and search, they can't "fuck" entrepreneurs, since it would be forever attached to their names. Sacca is upset at Conways "rush judgement" of his (Conways) friends (Conway allegedly privately referred to them as 'dirtbags' to Sacca).
He wants Conway to ask entrepreneurs how working with the Angels in question is, and hopes Conway realizes how hard they work.

I don't think anyone writing these e-mails expects them not to end up on TechCrunch.

the recipients
Or the senders, encryption being equally useless in that case, as well.
