# Getting random users

 * I have a website that I use as a comment exchange. Right now a lot of the work
   has to be done manually, because I can’t quite work out how to make it do the
   following below.
 * I want to be able to generate a set number of random users for a user to comment
   on and have that emailed at a set time. I also want to be able to include who
   that user is also going to get comments from.
 * For example, if there was custom fields, that could somehow pull a random number
   of users every set time (say weekly or whatever) and then I could mass email 
   users. While, it also could detect if the first user had been selected by other
   people and have it as the comment from..
 * At the moment I have members managed as users, and have to use excel to generate
   them randomly, then search, copy and paste who they have comments from.
 * Nothing like this really exists so if anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.
