Ha, yeah. Imagine how I feel, sharing a name with a major VC firm! @sequoia was squatted for years, I asked for it back in 2011 or so along with verification that I am in fact Sequoia (github.com/sequoia etc.), they said they "don't release usernames."

It sat like that for several years until lo and behold, they do release usernames under the right circumstances (see @sequoia now). I just want to know what made them release the name to @sequoia and not me (don't answer that :p).
