Hogwash. Embarrassment is an opinion that you either believe people hold
against you, or you hold against others, in which you think they will
think about you:

62 processes:  1 running, 61 sleeping
CPU states:  5.5% user,  0.0% nice, 11.9% system,  0.6% interrupt, 82.0%
idle
Mem: 53M Active, 11M Inact, 20M Wired, 6556K Cache, 19M Buf, 448K Free

I am not embarrassed. This server has +30 websites running, and it is
dead reliable.

You do what you know works. You do not do because you might be 'shamed'.
Those who shame people in this industry don't last long ;)
