On the recent bad judgment calls of Six Apart: sounds like right about exactly what I expected, although I haven't seen something quite like this go down since the big dotcom boom days, when every company was sure they could make a killing. Toys could tell you stories.

I remember the alarm bells that went off in LJ land when the Six Apart sale first happened, and this is why they did - people saw it coming. There's the "I wanna build something" stage of creating a company, and oh, you can have all sorts of principles and grand ideas there, but when you get to the "make big bucks" stage, your longtime customers' interests are the last thing on a company's mind. You've already done your part, by building them something worth selling, like beavers at a dam. After that, it's the dam they want, not you.
