[Asterisk-Users] Fw: Gift for Mark Spencer

[Steve Kann]

Now that the cover is blown, what's the ETA to stop getting these.

I've gotten 270 already:

stevek at m1:/home/stevek $ tail -10000 .procmail.log |grep Spencer|wc
     270    1379    8886

eco.webway.se (not the only sender) is sending me one message every 56 
seconds for about 4 hours now.

Now, I like Mark and all, but since they're asking $20 each message, 
they're already asking me for $5400.

So, by arithmetic, they're sending this to 2500 people (2500 * 20% * 
20) = 10,000.  But if each _message_ gets this response, we'll have 
about $2,500,000,  or about 250 hot tubs worth.

Probably more than can fit in the Digium offices..

So, the question for the list is, at this rate, assuming the predicted 
response, how long until all of Huntsville will be covered in hot tubs?

Assume a hot tub is 5ft*5ft, giving 1742 hot tubs/acre. or 1,115,136 
hot tubs/mi^2

Huntsville is 174.43 miles^2, so there's 194 million hot tubs needed to 
fill huntsville.  I guess we have a while to go..

(of course, I'm up to 282 of these messages, so we're getting there..).
