Netscape and Ning founder Marc Andreessen's newfound pessimism drew this response from broozier:

Marc has also become, somehow, the anti-founder in the process. The 'nuclear winter' comment that's been circulating extensively among my group of friends was the final straw:

I'm not listening to you anymore, Marc Andreesen. You've become the "old man" of the technology business, and taking a crap on everyone's aspirations suggests you've lost both your ethical compass and your optimism. In short, it's not winning you any more fans.
