>> I'm thinking you probably don't know anything about the pricing of short stories? >If exchanged for $1 per copy, you have a theoretical ~$8 billion dollar market. $65k is chump change in comparison. Hell, make it 1¢ – that's still $80 million. If you have not captured anywhere close to those numbers, you have either failed to do your work justice in distribution or it is actually worthless. OK, well thanks for the confirmation. >I find it amusing that someone, on HN of all places, falls down to basic logic. Hey! Me too! We do have something in common after all!!

> OK, well thanks for the confirmation. Glad we both recognize that short stories are effectively worthless. Even the most recognized short story I know of sold for, according to your figures, basically nothing. Why are we trying to keep that under a super important lock and key again? > Hey! Me too! We do have something in common after all!! I know. You already told us in the previous comment that you were amused by it. Thanks for telling us again, I guess.
