What they have right now are about 25 messages they wish to spread out through
out a 24hr period so they are sent out randomly during this 24 period, not a
pre determined every X minutes or X hours. Why .... I'm not really sure, but
that's what they want to do. I think I have it figured out though.
thx's

then do something very simple. send a message every N minutes where N is
randomly picked from say 5-10. they will never know it wasn't a more
random distribution.
