I somehow have a feeling that many people from here already marked a message from you as SPAM and kicked this message. > 2.

It's long and > off topic so if you are interested please see more information here: > http://www.speedy.net/uri/blog/?p=83 I read your idea, and I would like to say few comments both to you and to people who might want to join you: 1. You're thinking about creating yet another file sharing company. Find yourself some lawyers. 2. As a person who previously "matched" between companies and developers, I would say to any developer who wants to join you, that you are a "Red Risk", which means that developers should ask for cash (and not Shotef+30 or anything like that) or bank's cheque or a bank guarantee. Why? because you either do not know the law in Israel and/or being fully Naive. 3. Of course, any developer who "accidentally" served in the Israeli army should NOT try to work with you or else you'll mock and insult him, just like what you did 1-2 years ago, an act that was fully childish behavior. > 3.

You can see my profile at LinkedIn: > http://www.linkedin.com/in/urievenchen With your behavior? with your history? any potential employer who will Google you will throw your CV to the trash after 3 minutes. You clearly alienated tons of people with your act and any HR clerk with half a brain who will google you and see the results, will think that you are a "trouble maker", and thats a big red-flag to them, which means they won't accept you. In all honesty Uri, you made few very-public mistakes by flaming many Israelis on your web site's banner only because they served in the army, and you keep doing so on other places till today. I've seen that you've become a "spiritual" guy, and one of the things that any spiritual things that you learn is to accept the other, even if his opinions are the opposite of yours. I myself write a blog and I wtite my political opinions there (I'm from the right-side of the political map), but I totally respect people who disagree with me. It's very important to separate a political opinion from a person and a basic respect should be given. I think you should apologize to many people who were insulted by your actions.
