Reply #56: I actually researched this

showing I can have waaaaay too much time on my hands.  I got
the idea when I went to an evolution site made up of
ex-freepers.  One of them stated that since RimJob had been
chasing people off, especially those who cared about science,
the freepathons were starting to go longer and longer.

Freepathon Results:
  Month/Days    Yr  Duration  Target($)  Target/Duration
10/01 - 10/19  2006  19 days   70000       $3684.21/day
01/01 - 01/19  2007  19 days   70000       $3684.21/day
04/01 - 04/21  2007  21 days   70000       $3333.33/day
07/01 - 07/28  2007  28 days   66000       $2357.14/day
10/01 - 10/25  2007  25 days   66000       $2640.00/day
01/01 - 01/28  2008  28 days   70000       $2500.00/day
04/02 - 05/02  2008  31 days   80000       $2580.65/day
07/01 - 08/06  2008  37 days   76000       $2054.05/day
10/01 - 10/24  2008  24 days   80000       $3333.33/day
01/01 - 02/12  2009  43 days   80000       $1860.47/day
04/01 - 05/28  2009  58 days   80000       $1379.31/day
07/01 -        

You will note the only duration shrinkage has been the October
time-frame when actual elections are going on.  Otherwise the
number has trended upwards every quarter.  For this quarter
they are at 48 days and are still over $10000 from their goal.

I had to parse many of their freepathon threads to come up
with this...it has been disgusting work.
