Yeah, the moment I saw "Prauxmote yourself", i closed the window. I don't know if it's supposed to be cute or clever, but it made me feel uneasy.

I didn't close my window... but the only reason I didn't was that I was intending to provide a review for an HN'er, as a service.

I vomited a little in my mouth though, as I despise invented marketspeak words.

Also, I'm not on a particularly fast connection at the moment, but your graphical widget (I assume it was flash) took a few seconds to show up for me. I had probably 2-3 seconds where I was being told to Prauxmote myself, by PC... and that was it.

I definitely would've hit the back button in any other circumstance.
