any reason to hide that you're http://newslabs.com/? same phone number on both pages.

Don't you think that this lacks courtesy to post a comment rather than just email them? I mean, if there were a reason (and I can think of at least 3) then you just ignored it.

FWIW I think most people would google for the phone number. I did.

Trying to be stealth is just an invitation for everyone to start googling to find out all they can.

Yes, but there is a difference between being curious and finding out whatever you can, and posting the results of that search to a public forum - especially when the word "secret" is in the contact email address. It just seems a little unnecessarily unkind.

I suspect it never really occured the grandfather - because there wasnt really any secrecy, this is a community that generally scoffs on secrecy as "a bit silly really" and there appeared to be no harm in spreading possibly interesting knowledge.

Not deliberately malicious I am sure.

I was going to post it too but checked myself at the last minute.

Sorry if I broke HN-etiquette, I'm rather new around here.

My impression is that "Ask HN" questions call for more nuanced interplay, while links are intellectual free-for-alls where it's assumed that everyone (including, if not especially the OP) comes armed for probing discussions.

Sincerely speaking - should that not be my expectation? Feel free to e-mail me as well (unlike stealthyc2010 my e-mail is listed).

We were all new here once. No hard feelings :)

We were just trying to avoid building hype until we had more built. Whoops.

Our original name. God I hated that, glad its gone.
