I see nothing mean in hoping - infact, it's kinda opposite to "mean" to 
hope people will read and learn something. The fact that that hope is 
largely in vain makes it more "cute" than "mean"..

It would have been mean if you removed the text and, later, said "you 
should have read what was on the site a year ago!"

Sorry, but I don't thing the WJM approach works in this case..
WJR(*), perhaps?
