That's a wonderful offer, Patrick. Your generosity (with your time and knowledge) is, as always, inspiring.

It's really nothing other than what I've done since forever.

(n.b. I won't say $PARTICULAR_PERSON would do this without their permission first, but there are very many people in our industry who have this policy or fairly close variants of it. They just don't spell it out in detail on their websites. Since I have recent experience in the land of "Essentially everyone who I'd like to talk to is too busy to talk to me" delusions I thought I'd make it explicit.)

I want to thank you too :) . You've been very supportive of everyone in HN, and give insightful answers to even obscure threads like my aborted attempt at a micropayments startup :)
I met Patrick for the first time at MicroConf 2011. Everything he says is true:

- Geeky

- Friendly

- Approachable

- Very open to talking about software-y stuff

I look forward to seeing you again at MicroConf 2012, Patrick.
