No - I hand crafted it - and tweaked it - over several months.  I only showed 
a very small snippet of it, because at one time (I have cut back a bit) I was 
polling 4 ISPs with several accounts on each.  Right now I am on a cable 
modem, but when I started it was dialup

In my case fetchmail is a system wide thing, its collecting mail on behalf of 
my whole family and runs as a daemon from startup (I can't remember what I 
had to tweak on the debian setup to do this, I think it was just set the 
correct values in /etc/default/fetchmail)
