Let's not get too defensive, reading the original post I don't really see that this person "complained" in any serious way. Plus I'm guessing a lot of us have taken our own personal steps to address this same collection problem. Mine was simple, I just completely ignore any value for buildings with a collection time of less than 1 hr, and I strongly prefer ones with collection times of 3 hours or more. This person wrote a program. That seems to have some merit to me.

I see no difference in level of realism between saying I collect roughly every two hours and saying I collect exactly when the dollars turn green. Both are unrealistic, but very useful numbers for comparisons of the structures.

That said, I haven't had a chance to look at Adi's program yet (assuming Adi is the original anonymous poster), but I think I will modify it to simulate a typical day for myself to see what the difference is between that and the ideal. Which is what the original poster seems to intend, at least to my reading.
