Your question is based on a misconception. There is no actual "CYBERKEN," that is, in the way that a human being is normally conceptualized. Hence, the notion of finishing school is irrelevant. The poster on SI, and who knows where else, with the tag "CYBERKEN" is actually an automated drone program, no more or less than a string of code. Its creators, two hackers from the infamous Roguery666 group, have given certain hard parameters to the program which allows it to randomly spit out "responses" using a stock set of linguistic units. The program can be manipulated quite easily, new "words" can added to its "vocabulary" to freshen it up day to day, and it can be directed at virtually any target site or, in this case, thread. Ingenious piece of work, in my estimation. M2
