quote from the blog: "Everyone said I was nuts, but I did it anyway." sorry for being indelicate, but given the outcome, perhaps "Everyone" was right? heh!
"16 issues, 80,000 print copies distributed, another 100,000 or so copies downloaded, and countless new friends, fans, and collaborators all around the world later, I may still be nuts, but I have zero regrets."
Doesn't sound like he's too worried about that. And rather foresightfully: " It won’t surprise me at all to find some of our ideas strategically implemented elsewhere in the months ahead"
it just strikes me as a strange thing to write in a crash-and-burn postmortem.
i'm not saying anybody should regret trying and failing. it's accepted wisdom around here that everybody has to do that, sooner or later. but at the same time, acting like you knew better than those people who thought it would fail from the beginning? a strange choice of words.
You pretty much have to assume you know better than everyone else right from the start... otherwise you'd just conform and get a haircut and a cubicle.
