did @antirez of Redis do those things? i guess the audience just liked his project and that's all. if my work is BS and we get some attention with some tricks (edit: in a good sence of the word!), we would just agonize longer before everyone including me understands that my work is unneeded.
let it be as naturally as it is but thanks anyway
(addition: be us a consumer web startup we would agree. our audience is hacker and web engineering crowd, so the help would be just upvote my posts :)
