Woah there.

Just because there is no discussion about an event doesn't mean that people
don't care, or are not impressed.  There are many, many reasons why there
might not be discussion about something.  People might have seen it all
before (my fault).  They might be too busy to respond.  They might not
have anything substantive to contribute to the discussion.  Perhaps
they're just not in the mood ;-)  In any case you did your best to inform
the community of what we did, and we documented it completely for future
reference. Satisfaction should come from the building,
and combining those efforts into group creations.  It *is* fun to show off
those creations to others, but that is a more superficial and fleeting joy.
