I initially upvoted you because I agree - it is mind boggling but really I think the reality is that scaling at levels like that is a much bigger job/problem than you/I can imagine. Also I doubt all of the people are technical?

I just have to start wondering when it's over 100 though and now they are at 350.

They don't have an ad sales force right?

They don't have a billing department right?

Maybe they have housekeeping and food prep people included in that 350?

I honestly don't know and my instinct could be very wrong, but 350 seems crazy high.
