That's what the stock market is, right?

Airplane was a startup in a competitive market, it wasn't Google Reader shutting down. Anyone using it was an early adopter and in my experience, most early adopters understand the risk. Maybe it's possible that folks will be hesitant, but after multiple successful exits, maybe that's a hypothetical that won't matter any more, often founders move on to be advisors/board members, and I think any board would be lucky to have Ravi's experience on tap.
