    I personally found greenspun to be a rather egotistical elitist. I can't say that I feel too badly for him either, as he made off a whole lot better than the employees who lost their jobs.

    Not everyone finds the whole Cambridge/MIT nexus to be appealing, much less a reason for existing as some folks do...
