Earlier I noted Jason Calacanis's recent gem from LeWeb3. At the Parisian conference, he told the crowd, "As Internet people we shouldn't bother with people who don't understand the Internet because they'll soon be dead." I also noted that Calacanis hung up on me when I called to confirm he actually said it. It's not as harsh as it sounds, at least according to Calacanis himself, who left a whopping 337-word comment on the post. Here's the 100-word version.

Someone in the audience asked about some old executive. I told her folks like that would be dead soon. Hanging up on Valleywag that made my day! I've been waiting for Nicholas to call so I could say his life is sad. I said, "@#$%@#$!" Nicholas, call me? Mahalo.
