as i said a simple solution is to slice up the 24 hours into fixed
intervals. then pick a random time INSIDE each interval. random enough
for those types of people. this is close to one message an hour so there
is plenty of variability within each hour. and the coding is trivial.

Uri,
that's what I'm working on at the moment, trying to randomize the intervals
after splitting up the 24hr period.
Thx's
Mike
