I'd be careful about finding a "co-founder" half-hazardously. I've experienced a number of partnerships and they more often than not - end badly.

Workload is hard to share even if you have similar skill sets because you'll have different goals. You might be looking to build a company and he might be looking to sell.

Other issues i've dealt with is miscommunication. It's hard to be brutally open and straightforward with a stranger but its absolutely necessary because it always leads to GIANT problems when you're not honest to the point of being offensive.

Thank you for the suggestion but I'm not looking "half-hazardously". I've already turned a few down that didn't fit my particular interests. I'm not looking to get an email that interests me and go, "great lets start coding"..

Nevertheless, thank you for the advice.
