I don't konw too much about iMacro, but I do think that automation is only available on the Scripting version. Do you have that?

Here is a code that you can use to make it randomly pick a wait time to run your loops without needing a vb script. I like to use random loops so that it looks more human when running.
Just put this at the bottom of your script, and it will randomly pick a wait time of 2 to 10 minutes. You can change the wait time to more or less by changing the numbers in the lo and hi field.
Edit: I forgot to put " SET !EXTRACT NULL " in so I edited it.

Vb would be so much better, but you can run the code below to randomly pick a cell in a csv. You can't however randomly pick a cell in row "A" and one in"B" I mean you could if you used 2 datasources.
Thats why a vb script would be the best way to go, if you do decide to use this code, put it right above yours.
Code:
SET !EXTRACT NULL
SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO
URL GOTO=http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/randomN1.cfm
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:CFForm_1 ATTR=ID:low CONTENT=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:CFForm_1 ATTR=ID:hi CONTENT=10
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:CFForm_1 ATTR=NAME:Random
TAG POS=18 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SET !LOOP {{!EXTRACT}}Oh, and make sure to change the high number to match the amount of lines your using in your csv.

Reliable meaning?
It worked for me the whole time I used Imacros and I used it for many things. Like for a twitter tool I made, It would randomly pick a number 1 to 10 and extract the most popular topics and then post my messages.
Here is part of my twitter poster:
Code:
'Random Numbers'
'Start Random Numbers'
SET !VAR2 NULL
SET !EXTRACT NULL
SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO
URL GOTO=http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/randomN1.cfm
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:CFForm_1 ATTR=ID:low CONTENT=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:CFForm_1 ATTR=ID:hi CONTENT=10
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:CFForm_1 ATTR=NAME:Random
TAG POS=18 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SET !VAR2 {{!EXTRACT}}
SET !EXTRACT NULL
'End of Random numbers'
'Start twitter Submit'
URL GOTO=http://twitter.com/
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=TXT:Sign<SP>in
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/sessions ATTR=ID:username CONTENT=Username
SET !ENCRYPTION NO
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/sessions ATTR=ID:password CONTENT=Password
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:signin ATTR=ID:signin_submit
[COLOR="Red"]TAG POS={{!var2}}[/COLOR] TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:search_link&&TXT:*&&TITLE:*&&HREF:*&&NAME:* EXTRACT=TXT
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=ACTION:http://twitter.com/status/update ATTR=ID:status CONTENT={{!EXTRACT}}<SP>:<SP>Watch<SP>or<SP>Download<SP>{{!col1}}<SP>{{!var3}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:status_update_form ATTR=ID:update-submit
WAIT SECONDS=2
'End Twitter Submit'I set {{!var2}} as the number extracted so that it would choose the popular topics by random. Use your imagination with random numbers and you can come up with a lot of cool Imacros.
