I actually find it quite embarrassing that the guy had no clue what HN or YC were. He had absolutely no idea... and he works for a hosting company. It's quite a shame. I really got a kick out of the fact he questioned the legitimacy of traffic as well.
I don't really see why every hosting company employee out there is supposed to know about a certain small american investment firm started in 2005 and its associated news aggregator... we're probably an order of magnitude or so less popular than Reddit, which is itself rather niche. It's a small dot in the web world.

There are probably a lot more hosting company employees out there than there are HN regulars (or even occasional) users.
