Right. I guess I don't understand what part of all this makes you "not really impressed" with us?

The other companies in the list you actually gave reasons, but with us you just keep referring to this previous conversation and I do not understand your point.

I simply didn't remember your name. Months ago when I looked at your website and commented with you here, I was impressed. I was not impressed with SI when I just read the 2 or 3 sentence description, only because of multiple coincidental reasons.

First, I didn't remember that SI was your company and I was impressed with your company, so my thought was, why is this company in the list better than the company I remember chatting with a few months back that was struggling, yet passionate and interested in saving local news. I was disappointed that companies like yours weren't represented in the list. It just so happens that the company I was reading about was your company.

So you're an interesting case, because I knew about you and knowing about you was why I wasn't impressed with the SI I was reading about, simply because I knew of an impressive other company in the space. It supports what pg is saying, that with deeper investigation, some of the unimpressive companies become impressive, because I had done deeper investigation on you months before and was impressed.
