I am appalled by the lack of respect Andrew Mason gets on Hacker News. Sure Groupon is the not the most impressive piece of technology built in the past five years, but you can credit this guy for creating a billion dollar Company with millions of customers in a pretty short time frame. They have made mistakes along the way, but who doesn't? I also find his blogging style refreshing compared to all the semi-famous startups CEOs pontificating about stuff they have done. Next batch of YC will be lucky to have him around.
