KLP, AS has been back for a few weeks now and has, I believe, during that short time span, made more posts to SI than I have in the entirety of my SI presence. I do declare, but what that AS posts as much as any ten people. - Holly

KLP We haven't spoken before, but during the election I posted a bit and Laz and the Lady have come to know me a bit. So, what I am about to say may sound like a crackpot, but I am really not. I don't think AS is a human at all. I think it is programmed. I think it is a bot that seizes on key words and dumps it's load of BS on that topic. AS has randomly posted to right wing threads all about Delay, gun control, religion and HAL lately. It doesn't matter to who or on what thread. It posts it's drivel and starts a fight. I've challenged it to say anything personal, I've also replied to posts it has replied to me, but I did not use any key word and it never responded. Now, as much as it posts, it could easily overlook certain responses, however, when I use a keyword in my response, I always get a response from it. I think it's a bot or a paid poster with a sheet of talking points and it gets paid by the hour. It doggedly hangs on to the same message over and over and over, never responding to any points brought up that are contrary. Dembot.
