I rather wish they had worded it as 'We assume you are not stupid'. Or they are assuming wrong in my case?

[jaysonelliot]

"We assume you are not stupid" means they are making an assumption of intelligence, whereas "we don't assume you are stupid" means they make no assumption one way or the other.

I wonder which is more appropriate?

My intent was to say, in a positive way, "If you are unwilling to learn how a serial console works, or how OpenSSH public key authentication works, I'll refund your money and send you to Linode."

That was exactly how I interpreted it when I read it originally.

I love the minimalist page by the way.

[zorked]

It's great design I think. It attracts exactly the kind of people they want as customers.

[venkyk]

I see your point. However, I keep reading it as "We don't (have to) assume you are stupid. (We know so)".

[hellerbarde]

spot on +1

[WiseWeasel]

As a stupid person, I was offended.

[redslazer]

The fact you understand what the page is even about, means that you are not in anyway a stupid person.

[stcredzero]

Just because one can be smart, doesn't mean one has lost the chance to be stupid.

[WiseWeasel]

That would be stretching it. For all you know, I'm plenty stupid in other, arguably more socially relevant problem domains.
