I appreciate the sincere reply. 1.) We try to pick out the most relevant content from our community, but of course that is subjective. My thought is that the system and community decide the best content. I wish there were "downvotes" for our posts so we have an indicator of the value of our content. Your comment is certainly a valid "downvote" in my book, so great feedback. 2.) We are a desert Island in the sky, so getting some leads in through the HN Community and finding the correct demographic is important for us. This is the first comment from HN I've read regarding our content falling under such classification.

> I wish there were "downvotes" for our posts so > we have an indicator of the value of our content. Do you not find it relevant that you get pretty much no comments at all? But basically, my observation is this: Your material might be great for some audiences, but you get no upvotes, and no comments. Perhaps for thie HN audience you need to adjust your content to increase the positive effect you get. And good luck with whatever you try.

  One test I've used to check relevancy is to follow our posts on twitter. A lot of our posts are aggregated on various HN twitter feeds. Some, more than others. I've been using this to determine the quality of the post and understand what various HN tweeters find valuable. There's so many great posts on HN that get zero comments or up-votes. I'm convinced there are a small number of posts that get enough momentum from a very select group of voters, and once these posts are "blessed" so-to-speak, they then get some frontpage exposure - which gets them to some valid threshold allowing the community give it further boosting.
