[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  You'll probably never know what happened - even if they give you an answer.  Maybe they felt you were too aggressive, or maybe they met someone else (either before or after) who seemed like a slightly better fit and that became clear when they talked after meeting you.  Maybe they knew you weren't going to be their top choice and they didn't want to string you along, given what you had said about your other offers.  Maybe they were just being gracious in the interview with you but the truth was that they had a top candidate before you even walked in the door.  Maybe they had even put an offer out to someone else but were waiting to hear back and moving forward with their other candidates to be safe.

You'll never really know OP.   If I were the MB I don't think I'd be particularly bothered by a follow up email asking if there was any feedback I could provide.  I think, when done graciously, that can be a very professional thing to do.  (Although I will say that in my 9-5 job I do a ton of interviewing and hiring for desk jobs and only once in 25 years of doing this has a rejected candidate ever asked me for feedback.  It isn't common at all in my experience.)
