"Valleywag is cynical and harsh, but it has done more good for technology and humanity than all of Sand Hill Road combined."
Your hyperbole is misplaced. Has Valleywag done some good? Sure. Does it produce a bunch of unsubstantiated gossip that hurts people? Yes. Sand Hill Road on the other hand has provided funding for entities such as google, amazon, genentech, netscape, sun, lotus, AOL, etc. Are you seriously saying valleywag (not satire / ridicule) has provided more good for tech and humanity than sand hill? If so I would suggest you're delusional.
