Rich Rosen is one of the original Bell Labs' Artificial Intelligence
Device Systems (AIDS?).  It was set up to infect the unwary in such
a way that they get uncontrolable urges to post numerous replies and
follow-ups.  By this simple technique, Ma (Pa?) Bell has been able to
generate much more revenue for the long distance phone companies.
