But at that point in the interview you've just mentioned that you made $1-$3 per user, with millions of users active each month, and you were paying 10 cents for a portion of those users. Of course the first thing people are going to is the math and realize there's a lot of money right there.

But back to why I posted my original comment, it was more the condescending tone of the "I'm amazed" part of that sentence. My gut reaction would be: "Why yes, I can multiply in my head and it is amazing, Andrew."

Thanks for your reply though, nice to see you in this discussion.

If you can't determine profit margins from those two numbers alone, there's something wrong with you. :-)

I once heard Michael Milken interviewed by Barbara Walters. Every time he answered a question, he used her name.

I thought, he must do that habitually because it works well in one-on-one conversations, but it comes off obnoxious when you're watching it.

And now I did something similar. Thanks for the feedback.

I found the various commenting on the questions he was asked quite interesting because they were coming from someone who does a lot of interviews.

I didn't take the "Great question" as phony exuberance at all because of that, but that could just be me. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
