 Careful, I've seen what might be 'bots' which post semi-intelligent
replies to conversations. I'm not talking about the garbage spam that
we all know like:

 "3247n23.4.634&62##364 Red is wine flavor to color now? Debbie carat
eats fried grease and dies. Do you know DVD? PC sale not today free
purchase yeah! Tennis sports Debbie likes. Do you eat peas?"

 Either that or maybe it's an AI that takes words from an existing
thread and rearranges them into a new post that mimics the topic. In
either case, it's either a person with poor english skills, or a
really intelligent AI.

 I'm hoping it's the former, rather than latter.
