yes, however:
-The same message isn't being sent.. a message is selected at random from a list of a couple hundred
-Million+ users would be quite a feat for a kiddie spam program. The highest rate any of my software ever achieved was 1600 messages per minute, and that was mail not ICQ (which is lagged as all of the ICQ community knows). Even at that speed it would take more than 10 hours to reach a million users.
