  given that email has random delays anyhow, why not just make them go out
  on a fixed period? the receivers will never know it wasn't random. and
  that is a lot of messages sent per day. if someone doesn't read email
  often, they will see a bunch in their inbox at a time. no randomness
  will be percieved there. i bet no one will ever say, they came in too
  regularly but i wanted more random spacing!
