Yeah that link just serves as a timestamp of how early we were thinking about it (note first sentence pointing to private conversation). Could justify this if anyone doubts that uptake was earlier and higher than average, but it would involve a lot of digging in chats and facebook statuses.
It’s fine I don’t need justification, I just found that link an odd one. I don’t really think it shows anything given the small number of upvotes and only one response.
If anything it undermines your point if that’s the best thing you could find.
