 news: Good news!
Makes sense, but if you only worked 20 hours a week consistently, LJ'd probably fall apart, or Brad and the rest would have to kick in a lot more effort most of the time.
Also, you have to remember, all of those times you rush in to fix things, spend time on the mailing list, look through code, even if you aren't actively on "work time" you're still working.
Brad, this is probably the best decision you've made after actually deciding to create LJ.

Finally, Fitzpatrick was approached by Ben TrottBen and Mena Trott, co-founders of Six Apart, who gained his trust and seemed to understand LiveJournal's core principles.
While the userbase was generally supportive of Fitzpatrick's decision, a few have questioned the deal, objecting to Six Apart's sale of proprietary software [http://www.livejournal.com/~decklin/320551.html], or objecting to changes in LiveJournal's "Guiding Principles" document [http://www.livejournal.com/users/fuzzie/133601.html].
Fitzpatrick's supporters offered rebuttals to many of these arguments.[http://www.livejournal.com/users/evan/769381.html] They noted that the bulk of the code running LiveJournal at the time of the acquisition would continue to be open source, as it was licensed under the GPL.

From what he says and what Mena Trott writes about the merger, it looks like my instincts were right: Ben&Mena (and SixApart) are getting Brad's technical skills, Brad (and LiveJournal) are getting the business and asthetic sense that Ben&Mena have.

 The Fishbowl: Livejournal Overrun by Baby Squirrels. Film at 11.
Although to be fair, Brad indicates in his FAQ that it was running the business that he was tired of.
I think it's been pretty clear that Brad's *never* been as interested in the mechanics of running a business as he is in solving the technical challenges required to build the community.
A big part of the reason that Brad and the Danga team were willing to be acquired is to take advantage of a good management team and in-place business infrastructure in order to more fully concentrate on Live Journal.
