I wouldn't use such a harsh words, but probably share the opinion
Downvoted the best comment? That does it. I am going to start at the bottom of the comments from now on. :)
It is a stupid comment, without much content. Like the other reply, even if I agree, this is no way to say it. Our announcement is essentially saying the same thing, but elaborating to add information.
I thought it added levity and gave a gentle ribbing (did you think it was harsh?) {shrug}... I've said the same thing when my own startups closed.
I'm approaching this from a news.yc community perspective. Feel free to tweet about it :)
