	Well, going on for at least three years, Claude, a [now] 6-year
old orange tiger cat has been posting a test article every morning to
a local test newsgroup group in the Buffalo, NY area.

	How's that for a "non-human" poster? :-)

	Incidently, if anyone wants it, the automatic test article shell script
(which posts news disk utilization, error messages and statistics) used by
Claude is available to anyone who sends him mail.
