I think it's really the smug air that surrounds Mixergy and Andrew. (Disclaimer, haven't met the guy, but from his site, I'm afraid I don't really want to.)

You have an excellent point though that selective HN highlighting of half-decent content actually minimises exposure to the site.

Jennie, could you be more specific? I know I have a lot of room to improve. That's why I ask for feedback at the end of most of my videos.

I know you work. You have a good sense of style. I'll take all the advice you're willing to give. mail at awarner dot com is my personal email address.

I had a similar feeling until I read about your own personal experiences and saw what a hustler spirit you have.

Not smug though. But too polished.

Smug? Confident, perhaps, but I don't see smug. I see a guy who makes no coin from something he see as his gift to others just like him.
