This is an interesting point and I think I can shed a little more light on
it. Jennifer's truck broke new ground on two (or more) front's. I think as
well as her being female there we're more factor's that contributed to the
large number of response's.
Because of the 'cheshirefest picture's', a certain amount of anticipation
was generated, this was exaserbated by the vehicle being remote control,
somthing unheard of before. I think you'll find that John Barnes also
received a lot of responses/enquire'ies about his products too.
I also think that once a critical limit had been reached the thread had
gained so much momentum that everyone wanted to join in. There's also the
fact that the site was/is very professionally done and in paticular the
picture's are very clear, illiciting further (and well deserved) praise.
Finally theirs the fact that the vehicle operated in such a clever manner
and in such a compact way which again impressed the readers.

Whose attempt at building anticipation of a web site produced absolutely no
replies at all.
