I tried to estimate a while back by writing a script. Basically looked at requesters I've done less than say 10 HITs for and added it up. Came to about 5000. That misses some, like the 126 Benjamin Neuwirth surveys in my database. But adds some for the batch requesters I've done a handful for and decided they suck (including my penny from Brelig). Plus it is always the big surveys that ask this, and I don't know if they consider a 30 second, 1 question HIT to be a "survey".
I would also have to add the surveys I do outside MT. Would it include the one where I got DQ at the very end? How about the ones that freeze up in the middle? Do they count as halves?

Yep. Unless I am doing a batch or something I just let it sit and expire. Figure that's an hour it isn't spending being accepted and tossed back by other people. Edit: TO wasn't good on it anyhow. Maybe he saved us from ourselves.
