It's comments like this that are the reason YC's communications here are so upsetting. Pinboard isn't a joke. It's how the guy pays his rent. Not only that, but it's a valuable and important service. I use it every day. Less than I use Google, but more than I use Wikipedia.
Pinboard's YCF application being perceived as a joke is due entirely to Pinboard's YCF application.
YC has no responsibility for that at all.
No one communicated that Pinboard, the company, was a joke. I feel quite the opposite.

I think you mean to say, "no one intended to communicate that Pinboard, the company, was a joke."
