The point of the CFJ decision was not the physical/mental effort it takes to make a post (that can be automated), but that knowing you're about to make a long post of 1000 actions is a social barrier, you'll think twice before you decide if it's worth bothering everyone with it. If you can get away with Sgeo's "I do X 999 times", then (as was just clearly illustrated) you'll just do it for trivial actions if you're bored, but if you have to spell out all 999 you'll only do it if there's some real benefit (e.g. "legitimate" scam). -Goethe
