    Based on the recent lot, I sure hope you're not paying a premium for quality.
    You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

            He's got more chance of getting a sockie to 10000 posts before he gets his sofa.

                Shaunbhoy is doing that. Hence his fascination with the counting thread.

                    Hmm. There's some mileage in this Plan B.

                    I have a few handfuls of unbanned, post-moderation sockies that have not been used for some time.

                    I could rent them out for a fixed term, for a number of posts, or until one gets an 'infarction'. Penalties for getting it banned; discounts if you return it with +ve rep.

                    Each one has a different profile: gender, age, contract role, location in the country, writing style. I could provide a ready-made set of clichés.

                    I also have 'Richard Cranium', a few 'Cyberman' accounts and A Special Secret But Really Annoying Identity available on between a handful and scores of web sites internationally - each available for short terms at a high price.

                    I might even be able to provide some LinkedIn and FaceBook access, for the 'connoisseur'.

                    Then there's the chutney spoon related SEO pre-work I've done.

                    You know what? I'm f**king wasted in project management, me.
