> Um, no. I am building this. I am not just sitting around thinking up some idea and wishing it were true.

Well, now we're talking! :)

You are under the wrong impression. It's not that hackers don't want to see idea people succeed, it's that we don't have much respect for people who are on the sidelines and all talk with no action. I'm a developer, but first and foremost I'm an entrepreneur. If a person is willing to put their neck on the line while facing risk and uncertainty, they have my respect. I don't care if they can't even set up a Wordpress blog.

I wish you best of luck with your venture! It's not about arrogance; it's about action. You're in the club as far as I'm concerned.
