It's actually fascinating along those lines how much of a halo is around something that you read everyday and pay attention to. For example I don't read reddit and never have. If I sat on a plane next to someone important from reddit (except for Alexis) I could care less. But if I sat on a plane next to someone from YC (or even a top commenter on HN) I would definitely be all into talking to them because of the halo.
