   Okay, somebody check my math and my logic here.

   There were 15 headers. This means the total number of all possible combinations of those headers is 2^15, right?

   2^15 is 32,768.

   That doesn't *look* like that big a number, from a computer programming standpoint. Patreon has nice big, robust, industrial servers, presumably.

   If I want to query Patreon's nice API 32,768 times... Over what minimum span of time should I make those 32,768 GET requests, to minimize the chances their server will decide to stop answering them?

   Why, yes, I've written a perl script.

   At one per second, that works out to... 9.1 hours? Did I math that right?
