I'm just seeing a pattern here. A friend posted my site here a while ago when I was starting programming. And it hit immediately the front page of HN. I received so many "I love you", "Marry me"-mails because of it. So I'm not exactly sure...
I'm a troll, so I've been joking around that HN is full of white knights for a while now (not your case in particular, don't remember that, but every other post written by a woman that hits the front page).
I didn't think anyone would send that sort of email, that's not even cool HN, just desperate.
