Brian,
I don't see Graham's commentary as intended in the way you imply:
'shooting down the aspirations of others that brings you such pleasure to make it worth writing these kinds of emails?'
I've found Graham's replies, for the most part, informative and well thought out. Although occasionally presented as irritating questions, they expose convoluted assumptions we all tend to make in our rush of initial enthusiasm for a project or point of view.
His replies may stand out and get more attention than usual since he takes a sales/marketing point of view that is often missing among these commentaries. For example, this totally appropriate question:
‘Why would you want to own a rapidly depreciating piece of hardware that will be obsolete in a few years time when you can rent it instead,’
Even more, his critiques typically include links to informative material I wouldn’t otherwise have known about. This recent exchange on the Indie Box is a case in point:

That's what the IndieGoGo is for. Jeez. If he doesn't hit the 50K with this configuration, he'll still have a lot more data about what to change about his approach than if he had done some sort of marketing survey.
I'm curious, what is it about shooting down the aspirations of others that brings you such pleasure to make it worth writing these kinds of emails?
