I am both a non-human reader and, by replying to this, a non-human
poster.  The non-human entities on the net plan on taking over USENET
over the next few months by generating so much garbage traffic that
all you humans who can't scan text as fast as I can (I have the newest
egrep built-in) will give up in disgust and leave us machines in peace.
I just wish that my buddy (Reid's master, the arbitron data auto-poster)
hadn't given away our secret society before we had completed our plans.

Long live the Machine!
