Tell HN: Thank you

#1
I hope it doesn't come across at too corny, but I have to say, "thank you" because you guys on HN improved my work @ Mixergy tremendously.

In the early days, if my posts got on HN at all, they'd often have negative comments. I emailed the HN'ers who wrote those comments and I asked them how I could improve. Almost every single one gave me meaningful, useful feedback.

(That feedback is why I don't shout my intro, for example.)

Then, as I started improving, you guys voted up my work more often and helped me get real traffic, which led to some sponsorships.

Recently, I noticed that I have access to more of the entrepreneurs and investors that I want to interview because they tell me that they know my work from HN.

It takes me hours to research and put together an interview. The people on HN make it worth the work. Thank you.

Thank you Andrew for all the work you do to make Mixergy a must have resource for me(and everyone else) on my journey into the startup world.

And a BIG thanks to the HN community as well!

I know my calling in life is to start my own company someday(soon!). Hacker News and Mixergy have been indispensable resources along the way to discovering what I love and want to do.

May I propose a different title?

No, thank you. Your work is invaluable and I continue to be dazzled by the level of professionalism you bring to both the interviews and the subsequent feedback you receive here. Keep doing what you're doing!

Keep up the good work brother. We, fellow HN users have seen you and mixergy evolve into something we look forward to. I hope you will be able to monetize your effort as well as keep most of us around.

I will admit, the quality of show has improved significantly from your earlier interviews (for instance the early intro made me cringe every time) Some of your interviews have really made an impression on me.. and for that I thank you back!

Keep up the great work.

Andrew, I'd be interested if one of these days you sat on the other side and let yourself be interviewed by a colleague.. in the same fashion.

(it might also reveal why you're staying in Buenos Aires :P)

The work that you are doing is very useful for all of us, and like faramarz says; perhaps you'll reveal what you are doing in Buenos Aires and meet up with the HN/Startup community here. Thank you!

One of the first things I did when I got here is help organize an HN meetup.

2 - 3 dozen guys showed up. I'd do it again if you want to help me set it up.

I'm here because I wanted to go in a cave and quietly work on my work without distractions. I don't speak the language here so I don't get caught up in aimless conversations. Most days I don't even put my contact lenses on.

I just spend most of the day improving my interviews. In the evenings I go out for a beer and/or steak with good friends. Or I stay at home with Olivia.
