And this basically sounds like passing judgement. Not everyone has to share the same goals. Some want to go for the billions, others are happy with a few million. It's not your place to judge someone else's goals as greed. Just like it wouldn't be Aaron's place to judge your goals as settling.

True.

I suppose I was mostly nit picking on the portrayal of "oh, hey, we had a good business, but, meh, so what."

When, for a lot of people, myself included, that sounds pretty nice. E.g. (from another reply) 2-3% monthly growth is meh? I suppose...

But, yes, as you said, different goals and circumstances (I of course know nothing about the company/VCs/etc.).

So, yeah, akharris, sorry for being an ass--shutting down a company definitely sucks, and you have to do it in front of your friends/hecklers on HN. Good luck on the next thing.
