		<description>I agree with Chris.  The number inflation that Sugar is doing is only going to hurt them in the long run, esp. with that high a VC investment.  I don't think they'll get much added traffic outside the gossip sphere unless they have a B plan.  But it will be interesting to see.</description>

		<description>We have a web site thast draws over 2MM unique vsitors each month, mostly IT managers from companies such as Microsoft, Wal Mart, Accenture and organizations such as the FBI, CIA and DOD.  We provide free tools that help these companies run their businesses and protect against spam and hackers.  We have more search engine links than Napster and Martha Stewart and we believe we attract 20% of the market.  We've been told our tools are the best in the industry.  I am considering taking VC money but having difficulty establishing the valuation.  Any thoughts on what that valuation should be given the loyal audience and monthly nimbers?

		<description>Mike -

  &lt;i&gt;&#62;&#62; Just to be clear: I would do naked cartwheels to have the opportunity to take Michael Moritz’ money and have him on my board of directors.&lt;/i&gt;

let me be the first (but hopefully not the last) to kick in $5 to the "PLEASE MAKE SURE MIKE DOESN'T PITCH MORITZ WHILE I'M WATCHING" fundraiser... yikes ;)

mike, really... i'm even more sure now you don't need venture capital.  
for the sake of the children, don't do it!
