I suppose now it becomes more of a test of whether a prominent blogger's post is enough to prompt these firms to look for his submission and respond. Certainly not representative of the average person. And the fact that the companies aren't named puts no pressure on them to follow through.

But then this begs the question, why do the VC firms' web sites offer the ability to submit in the first place? How about an Amazon Mechanical Turk task to have people screen the proposals for them? Have the Turkers write a bullet point summary and give a thumbs up or down.
