Sorry but you come off as a crank. Nobody reads your emails. They're too long and presume trust on the part of the recipient, which you don't have.

How many long, unsolicited, rambling emails that don't get to the point do you bother reading?

I'm not a "crank" at all in any sense at all. E.g., I've listed some of my accomplishments, and they are real and significant. It's the VCs who are wack-o: Commonly they are not qualified for any significant role in a technical startup. And as at

http://www.kauffman.org/newsroom/2012/07/institutional-limit...

on average the VCs have not been making much money.

My typing here is long enough to provide evidence enough to make my points. Just short assertions with no evidence are not meaningful.

VCs are commonly treated as heroes, the smartest people in the room; maybe you are upset to discover they are not.
