Hype is an overused word sometimes. It's like the overuse of troll,
only because you don't agree with someone else's opinion. IT
professionals and geeks overload and overuse some words too much
sometimes.

I agree that it's better to "show, and don't tell." Or better yet,
keep quiet about it and use it to get _your_ job done, forget about
the others. :-) But some people just can't avoid talking about what
they love, me included.

Cheers,
Joao
