It's unfortunate such an ethical CEO as Mark Pincus has to go through troubles such as this.

This is also a reminder that only very few companies caught up in the bubble have real business models that will last when the bubble pops.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. Sorry, I thought everyone knew what a douche Pincus was: (and this is just ONE example):

Yup. The time frame is ~15 minutes, AFAICT. Same with deleting, though I think that's about an hour. Don't quote me on those numbers.

You have to wonder how ethical he really is?

I'm sure he was being sarcastic

[smallegan]

You are probably right but for some reason I guess I missed the sarcasm. I haven't followed Mark Pincus so I wasn't sure and this isn't reddit so I guess I'm just used to people being more sincere.

Normally, I would definitely be serious and more technical. However, the fact that Pincus is one of the biggest scammers out there and people still: 1) Believe him 2) Invest in his companies 3) Work for him, leads me to be a little sarcastic. It's hard in this day and age with information overload to see people still getting involved in pyramid schemes and wanting to buy snake oil.

This is sarcasm...right?
