Humbly suggest, guys, let's strategize. How were you going about trying to be the winners? I was trying to keeping track of the rate of posts. I would enter an SI URL number with the last digit 5 posts ahead of the latest post made, and kept hitting reload, until a live post appeared. I started doing this a few hundred posts before 3 mill, and kept skipping ahead by 5 every time the reload resulted in a new "live" hit. That way I got the timing pretty much down pat, so when post 2999990 became "live" I counted to three, and then made what I hoped would be the winner, having of course prepared it in advance, in another open browser window. I missed by seven, 'cause I underestimated the flury of posts that would be made by all of you at that very moment. You? Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com )
