1. I read that earlier
and thought the same thing.

It's like 8000 posts a month on DU...

2. 1 text is probably more like 1/4 of a DU post.

3. I have a great calling plan, but text messages are not included.
So, at fifteen cents a pop, I'd have to pay $1200 for all of those text messages.

Yeah. Excessive.

4. I posted about this earlier
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-kid is definitely a bit over the top. I guess her parents have money to burn on her text-messaging addiction.
