Startups and Sincerity.

Last night, I posted about finding a builder for my concept (that link is below). I was pleasantly surprised to see how mostly receptive HN was, but I wanted to ask the masses for some help.

1. How can I prove sincerity and move myself beyond the countless flames, i.e. "I HAZ GRT ID$A!"?

2. I realize posting on a message board is not exactly the best option for finding a business partner, but I can reach a lot of bright people and vet ideas this way. I'm meeting with some people in person here in town and HN has been great help for letting me gauge response so far. That response has been, mostly skeptical with a nice chunk of positivity, and just a dash of flame.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
