I find it interesting that you used a throwaway even though you didn't mention anything that could be construed as offensive.

I guess you're a direct competitor to optimizely and I know of only one other direct competitor lurking these forums so hey :)

I guess you are thinking Visual Web Optimizer. No, I am not a part of VWO and also not an employee of a company that is a direct competitor to Optimizely. Adding to what user 'litek' mentioned, there are at least a dozen well known competitors in the A/B, MVT space.

I don't see any reason why you should guess that.

You only know of? I don't have any skin in the game, but there are plenty of competitors in this space. Reducing a criticism to the one HN frequenter you're aware of seems, well premature and unfounded.

I didn't really publicly 'reduce' anyone to anything. Kinda like what you did here. But hey okay then.

For the record, I addressed a throwaway account and didn't name any names.
