There is no point to it, other than to see if it can be done (the fact that it frosts eesh's cookies is just an unanticipated bonus). Also, this is a different script, written in
Python rather than in
AutoIt.
The script runs at a
glacially slow pace, waiting between 5 and 10 seconds between each load of the Web page, which is deliberate because I'm not trying to run a denial of service attack against Cary's servers.
And, as much of a banhammer boner as eesh has, all Cary needs to do is ask me not to do this and I won't. It's as simple as that.
