Yep. A former lady friend in bed. I was crushed. Also, the brats
that ocassionally infest my house when I'm coerced into playing baby
sitter. Once in a while, someone complains that I bore them to death
in a newsgroup or mailing list. It happens all the time, but I'm used
to it.

Most of my critics are a bit more colorful with their opinions of my
rants. Back in the days of the dot com era, I was doing evaluations
and sanity checks on business plans and product proposals for a VC. I
was really good at puncturing inflated projections and science fiction
products. The proponents of those plans often suggested that I was
rather less than entertaining. I'll admit that it was fun (especially
getting paid to do it).

I kinda wished I had the benfit of asking someone with experience when
I was getting started in various businesses. I made far too many
mistakes. Before embarking on any venture, I try to do as much
research as possible and solicit opinions from everyone. Once I
decide to do something, I then tended to ignore any subsequent
criticism and predictions of disaster. I got some of the best advice
from some of the strangest and non-obvious people.
