The "top 10 reason for startups to fail", "top 10 ways to succeed" and the like are getting tiresome. Can we put this all into a book for everybody's reference? I feel like we're going in circles here and every two months someone rediscovers something and writes anohter "top 10" piece of hard-earned wisdom.

There must be a way for us to accumulate knowledge as a society rather than rehash it. Right?

But when we assemble the book, let's select entries from authors who are not ashamed to say who they are, something about their credentials, and what personal experience makes them worth attending to.

All I get from "TheRiskMaster" Tim Draper is his 'complete profile:' http://www.blogger.com/profile/14560806142417410222 ??? Plus that he's a fan of Nat&Alex, as witness their link on page of the blog.

Are we supposed to believe that this is the Draper of draper-fisher-jurvetson ?
