You know that you can scan for his replies on any thread by using the http://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments link, right? Just in case someone starts another "YC e-mails are out!" thread?

oh, i guess i should mention. it sends a SMS to a sprint phone via Sprint's www interface. i do not know (nor do i care) if it works for other cell phones. you can see if it does by setting the starting_count variable to 0.

So if I make a user called "pgfake" can I make your script send you text messages? Neat.
