Hi jcr, Thanks for the response. To be clear, the blog was the HubPages official blog. I used to be an engineer there. I completely understand about the secret sauce at HN. I just wanted to check to see if there was something I could do. I'm always amazed at how well HN runs as a PG part-time project so even if there is an impact on me, I accept it. I've attended start up school enough times, that if I don't get to attend again, that's ok. Maybe it's time for me to be successful enough to be a speaker. :-)
