Thanks for the feedback winslow!

Firstly, once someone closes the window, they don't see the pop-up for at least another 2 months. We hope this cuts down on the annoyance factor.

We are seeing pretty good engagement and tracking the numbers. Our bounce rate for July 3rd (the day we hit HN front page) was <0.3%. I mention this day specifically for a couple reasons: 1. We had significant traffic and sample size for that day 2. 92+% of our traffic was from new users (the only ones who would see the pop-up)

We've only been using the box for a couple of weeks and will keep monitoring the numbers and the comments.

Thanks for your kind words!
