I will feed the troll:

He should spend some of his blogging energy on developing a more interesting topic/business to blog about.

Patio11 is not your dancing monkey.

Sure, his writing skills and analysis are decent/good, but the content he writes about is laughable.

Laughing all the way to the bank.

Most tech stuff posted on HN is the cutting edge of web apps. And if it wasn't, I wouldn't read this site multiple times per day.

Well, can't say we'd miss you if you stopped contributing, but I'd have to take issue with the first part. At this moment, the front page has 30 entries of course. I can't believe I'm doing this, but they are about Flash, SproutRobot, Falcon 9, bcvi, HTML5, ideas, diamonds, deflate, BigPipe, Falcon9 (again), Titan, YourWorldOfText, fivethirtyeight.com, being wrong, Toxoplasma, Soros, Readability, Google IO, Posterous, Steve Jobs, Wakemate, Amelie(), the FTC, patio11's a/b test, chrome dev tools, twitter employees leaving, Apple and HTML5, Bing cashback, a world cup calendar and John Gruber. I'll leave it to you to determine if "most tech stuff on HN is the cutting edge of web apps." I tend to think that most business stuff on HN is there to help educate someone to run their business, generally technical in nature.

Finally, there's printing bingo cards is a business any 12 year old with a computer could set up.

Why haven't you, then?
