If you ask me, it's bad to advertise that you publicly speculate, with resounding authority, on things you know absolutely nothing about.

Haha, won't get funded ever? I have VCs knocking on my inbox doors on a monthly basis. We don't take funding. We have, however, brought in >$1 million in revenue on products since we started doing products, including http://letsfreckle.com.

The sysadmin I mentioned is one of the most respected experts in the community. He wasn't cheap. He had a fantastic legacy of very good, very public work. And yet, here we are.

When you run a real business, you will be faced with tough decisions. Hopefully you will be able to make wise choices as well.
