@paulg there is a difference between being a biological father and an actual father in certain cases. Same for "founder"? -
@joshelman@paulg analogies that trigger emotional side effects don't help explain the situation. Big, early impact doesn't mean founder -
-
@joshelman@paulg the reason your analogy fails is because the weight of the comparison confuses your meaning. -
-
@joshelman@paulg not at all about degree, but logic. You can become a real dad after 10 years.@dickc as a founder is divorced from reality -

@paulg Are you ok with "CEO"? It seems more pompous than "Founder". - 1 more reply

@paulg I like CEO "for" Company. Or Company CEO. Both show the right focus, responsibility, humility. None are boastful rather factual.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
