Howdy, I guess I can address some of what you mentioned. The article was intentionally vague on the details about their architecture and the techie bits since I view a lot of things from the lens of a marketer.

What I wanted to highlight wasn't so much the technical underpinnings of the offering and why it's important to engineers and geeks, but rather what impressed me based on my initial reactions.

I haven't had a chance to thoroughly evaluate the service since it's brand new of course, but I plunked down my credit card just like everyone else on the waiting list if you're implying that I have a special relationship with them.

I just appreciate good service, entrepreneurship, and what WP Engine represents.
