I don't think it's necessary to humble ourselves with the idea we're a "blip." Rather that's the reason to frequent sites like this one: Because the information is more concentrated. XDA is a fabulous site, but I would argue that in certain ways it becomes less useful in proportion to the growth of its popularity.
Sure, we are more focused on the reading experience here and that is great because most sites don't really spend much time on it. However, for things like if a device crashes, doesn't power up, has touch screen issue and software issues (things that are a problem to some degree with all tablets) we are just a blip on the radar.

Realistically, how many users do we have here that own nexus 7s compared to other forums? I don't know for sure but I suspect more android focused forums probably have more users, though they may not use them to read on as much as we do here.

Our strength here is in evaluation reading experience, not say we don't know a lot about the other aspects of the devices but other sites may have more overall users for any given device than here.

That is part of the reason I apologized to Blossom because she is right in focusing on the evaluation of the reading experience of the HDX for this site even though my experience isn't the same as hers.
