[Twisted-Python] Concern over "relentless hyping" (was Twisted - howto transport megabytes?)

[Peter Hansen]

I received the following message in private (I assume) email after
my last post to the newsgroup.  Comments are welcome, preferably
public ones (merely because I consider private discussions about
this kind of thing to be a severe waste of my limited time).

Am I over-hyping Twisted?  Am I over-publicizing my satisfaction?
Is anyone over-hyping it?  Is there a maximum acceptable target level 
of hype?

IMHO, if you're trying to attract experienced, multi-lingual programmers, 
this relentless hyping is a little off-putting. (Well, _I_ find it
off-putting.)
