Rachel and Lenny walk into a bar...

Apparently someone has put some simply code for a voice response unit that acts
as a time-waster for telemarketers:

It's worth a listen to one or two of Lenny's greatest hits on youtube.

My questions:

How many Lenny's would it take to make telemarketers give up? It reads like
there's at least 2 out there, so the answer right now is "more than 2".

As another related question, how big a percentage of honeypots does it take to
make things like WordPress login guessing not worth the skiddy's time and
effort?

How big a percentage of fake PerlBots would it take to get the ICQ botnet
herders to give up? (SHOUTZ to JB and STMIK!)
