Yes, what a selfless act of charity those people undertook in exchange for mere hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Let us have a moment of silence for the millions of man-hours selflessly donated to this organization, which was founded by Mother Theresa herself.

This unassailable high ground certainly warrants six paragraphs of pointless our-incredible-journeying, especially as they go on to describe the future of the organization as 'tinkering around.'

I never alluded to their journey being selfless or charitable...

Just because the team partially did this for profit, doesn't mean they didn't work their asses off and are now sad to shut it down. Nor does it discredit the claim that some of their users are going to be very sad to see it go. That was my point.
