I suspect he wanted to know how to avoid *manually* filling the forms in
one at a time, esquifit, rather than necessarily avoiding the
*technical* process of submitting a form at a time.
No, I haven't seen such a script. I don't think it would be impossible
or even very difficult to create, though; the most difficult thing is to
keep track of all the entries to fill in. (Each page load of the form,
the first entry would be filled in; when the submit target was loaded,
the first entry would be removed and the page location would be set to
the form again.) You would probably then just have to have a good way of
entering all the entries into Greasemonkey's preferences, perhaps just
with about:config.
If you need help creating this script, feel free to ask, although do be
aware that most of us on the list are more about helping scriptwrights
with their specific problems than writing scripts in their entirety for
other people.

The process of sending information to a server comprises the acts of
filling the form in your browser and of processing the information at
the server's side. You can fill out the form which wherever
information you want, be it 100 emails or any non-sense text, since
nothing prevents you from doing so. However, if the server is not
prepared to handle this kind of response, it is totally pointless.
You cannot influence the way the server process the information from
the browser alone.
At least for the purpose of filling forms, think of Greasemonkey as a
tool of automating things that you already can achieve manually rather
than as one to force the server to do certain things.

Hi
I'm adding people to a post list through a form in a web browser. I'm
wondering if anyone has seen a script that lets you enter multiple
emails(or a names etc.) into a form at once, as separate instances.
Say if I have a list of a hundred emails, I want to be able to sign
them all up for the postlist without having to sign people up one at a
time.
Thanks,
