Reading the title, I almost thought 37signals moved into Fortune's 500.

Just so you don't feel alone, I almost thought that too.

I don't want to be mean - but I hope you're not serious.

Well the word sneaked gave me a sneaky feeling which in turn raised my hopes.

Company #500 did $4bn+ in rev & $250mm+ in profit last year - think about that compared to 37signals (no offense to them).

That's exactly what I thought too. Was about to say, that would be the most epic 'Blog posts', if that's how 37Signals announces they were indeed in the Fortune 500. That would have been awesome.

Well, I thought the same thing, and was sadly disappointed.

Not directly in the Fortune 500, I mean - my assumption was that the post would include some bogus jokey calculation that, once turned into $, suggested that they were worth some unimaginable amount...
