Neocon, FYI.

There is an SI gizmo (sorry, but I am not a technical type) called the "spambot." Like most people here, I am not sure how it operates, but this poster has hazarded a guess:

You do have to watch your step around the spambot, because it is no respecter of person or of intentions. One of SI's most widely admired and bookmarked posters fell victim to it not too long ago, and was rescued from SI Hell only by the concerted efforts of his many friends and followers.
