#625 RE: Sentinel #624

For those of you doing the math on the 140 subs a day like I would like to point out something that was pointed out to me on one of these boards in the past. I can't remember who it was or I would give him credit, but the basic idea was that you can't just multiply by the number because of exponential growth. I think of it like compounding interest, if the have 10,000 subs and are increasing by 1.4% each day, the numbers will just keep increasing because each day you are adding 1.4% to a higher number (just gusssing based on initial 10k subs and 140 per day). If you compound these numbers daily for a year you end up with 1.6 million. Of course this only happens if they actually maintain a 1.4% increase every day which may not be realistic as they grow, but the commercials should help and it puts things in perspective.
