remember userexec made a chart using SE's data, and SE took away the data.

But he was screen-scraping to his own website. Site operators don't like that. I can confirm that having been a screen scraper snagging County Assessor's records online for a time. ( now you know one of the Zillow tricks! AT the time it took 6weeks for 8PC's to scrape all records for Maricopa County, Az )

Interesting that this only shows the front airbag deploying.

I knew a woman who got rear-ended (around 1983) by a drunk driver. She was hit at about 35 mph and the whiplash threw her into the steering wheel so hard that she needed serious re-constructive surgery.
Seems like a good idea to me if all three go off in any "major" impact.

MAN! a watched kettle never... Now at $18,994,560
Just to document it I'll report again when I see 19mil. I did finally find something else that I need to do.

So I checked the average for the last $84k invested, only 25 investors, gives us $3,600 each. I suspect if you see anything close to that rate over a period, it's not likely bogus.

I agree. That seems to be the normal amount for our gang and for the population at large. But someone popped in 100K last night -- theoretically -- and I have to say it looks pretty fishy when that happens.

Dpn't go away -- we're 2,040 shy at the moment (2:41 PM EDT)

I finally made a commitment. I have limited funds, but I figured I better put some money behind my faith (besides my all in deposit). Only $250, but it's doable for me

Still a whisker shy ... currently the average investment (total dollars / total investors) is $3851 per person. I think that's high and reflects some of the very high numbers that have been put into the system -- whether honestly or fraudulently, I don't know. Going with our group, we'd be at what, $3200 average -- if that were multiplied by 5000, we'd be at $16 million. So that's my rough guess as to the "BS interest". It's not a GENUINE $19 million, but I'm venturing that it's a realistic number of what they can really expect people to invest so far, subtracting out the possibly phony big hitters.

Not chump change in 20 days or so of trying!

3:00 still $1,090 shy of 19 million.

To be fair, though, I was using a Yahoo! crawler to pull just the HTML of one page once every 30 minutes for 48 (partial) hits a day (really closer to the actual bandwidth usage of one hit on their side per day) for public data that was on their main page and had no listed restrictions. The load I was adding to their system was designed to be beyond miniscule because I'm polite like that

Me too -- I know better, so put in $250 and raised it to $275, just to see if the online counter responded (which it did very quickly). Like you, money is very tight, and this is definitely a flyer from the investment point of view. But emotionally -- commitment to the cause.

We all know you're a gentleman ... and incredibly dangerous if you weren't.
