Yes, I do promote my startup whenever I can, but am always on topic. Why the negativity? Is it wrong to be vocal or do you feel like I'm dancing on Greplin's grave?

Your post comes across (to me) as self-serving and somewhat socially awkward. The "PS" and "PPS", in particular, are quite crass and not the way to promote a company. You seem like someone who meets me at a keg party and jumps right into a pitch as soon as I tell you my name.

No offense; I just prefer HN comments to be less blatantly promotional.

I can't reply to Chris' comment for some reason, so posting the reply here:

I'm sorry that I came across as crass and socially awkward - I hope I can prove to you that I'm not so bad in person one day.

The PS and PPS are edits because I got excited about what this meant for us and realized I was being too self promotional esp. to people that knew nothing about us, so thought I'd give some background and clarify my feelings.

PS. No offence taken :)
