Not at all.

Or, more strictly speaking, I suppose the sites are related inasmuch as they both launched to much acclaim in 2004, and both reside at regrettably similar domain names that begin with the same coincidental prime number. I know. Sounds crazy. But it was a total coincidence.

Over time—and after a couple years of unilateral anomosity on my part—I’m very happy to say I became friends with Daniel and crew. In fact, Buster’s a great internet pal of mine now. They’re all good guys, and I admire their hard work and initiative in making their site such a hit.

But, you know. Just for the record. 43 Folders did launch first. But, who’s counting? :-)
