patio11 what you have written is great and I have the highest respect for what you do (and things that you have said).
But - separate from any conflict or cynicism that others have raised as far as HN becoming a marketplace, there was to much to read (and in fact I didn't read it, I skimmed it) so I wouldn't feel comfortable paying the amount you are asking which was located at the bottom.
I feel you should have started at the top with:
"If This Doesn't Create Value For Your Business, I Don't Want Your Money"
(pricing options)

Just my thoughts. By the way I have no doubt that you have thought long and hard about putting that price at the bottom of the letter and could point to backup for that strategy (perhaps in something you've written before or generally accepted knowledge). But my reaction is my reaction so I just thought I'd throw it out there.
