"Some of these comments have me wanting to mash up a "Leave Fred Wilson alone!!!!" video. :-) I am surprised at the tone of some of the comments. I think perhaps people took it to an extreme with the quote of "Important information will find me" and extended that to the (perhaps logical in some alternate universe) extent of "...so I don't have to do ANYTHING!". Fred's message was pretty simple and he wrote it clearly. He can't respond to every e-mail, blog comment, blog post referencing one of his posts, tweets, etc. He's not declaring any kind of bankruptcy, he's simply accepting the truth that it would be impossible to stay on top of all of that, so he's not making it a high priority to even try. That seems completely sane to me. Fred is NOT going to stop actively seeking out information, and the very important information that he is NOT seeking out, WILL still find him if it's truly very important." - Robert Seidman
