I was surprised and impressed by pg sniffing out the last guy. I felt like there was something shady about how he was describing his company… like it was a 'platform' and too general and he had too many 'users' for what he was describing.

Then Paul jumped right to the "is this a penny auction site?" question and nailed it. I wonder if he hears from people running that angle a lot…

Also, I think from now on when someone describes how many users they have, my next question will be how many active users per day/week/month?
