That's a pretty poor response to a valid question. While the tone of the question was harsher than I think was warranted, the question of "why is this something I should care about?" is something that should be at the forefront of every product developer and investor's mind.

Not at all. Surely the obvious first step in talking to someone about an app is to figure out how much they already know about it.

While you may have intended your question as a question, that's not the impression it gave. My first reading of it was as a rudely sarcastic dismissal -- "obviously you don't know what you're talking about" -- and I was about to downvote it on grounds of incivility until I noticed that you were the author and realized that was probably not how you intended it to be read.

He was just asking an honest question and wanted to know if the person actually used it, since that would probably provide a deeper explanation of the utility of Bump than any personal opinion of his would. Let's not get too uptight around here people.

I know what he meant. My point was that what he meant isn't what it sounded like at first glance (yay mixed metaphors!) and that's probably why daeken responded as he did.

Yea, don't sweat it. :)

I suspect that that is only the default interpretation because the site has gone so far downhill and there are so many nasty stupid comments.
