Should I stay, or should I go?
So I just got a paper accepted for a talk at a conference. A smallish conference, as things go, but a conference none the less, and one that seems to get some good material at it.
And most importantly, it the first paper from my own research to get accepted! WHOO-HOO!
But I'm disturbed.
There were no comments. None. Nada. Zip. Not a *SINGLE* comment from any reviewer. No suggestions on how to make it better, no mention of looking forward to it, NOTHING.
I feel like I'm being set up by the prom queen, and when I show up for our date, I'll get eggs thrown at me by the football team.
It's just... eerie.

Re: You should go.
It's just the lack of feedback that feels odd.
I've had *plenty* of feedback on other related (rejected) papers, and edited the material presentation accordingly, so maybe I just nailed it on this one.
But still... NO comments? Weird.
