fusedlogic added these pithy words on Jul 10 08 at 7:58 pmYeah, that's not me, but Steven Rubel says it's him to a “T.” But Steven's not on Guy Kawasaki's Alltop “ego” list…so maybe he's mistaken…

greenskeptic added these pithy words on Jul 10 08 at 10:03 pmLOL – my wife keeps saying to me: “You're famous…[pause]…on the Internet. Glad to have you confirm it's not yet true!
