Raises a few questions as to how easy it is to get a hold of your screenname, and also of the effectiveness of the Turing Test for AI, in the online world. Or is it just that people aren't bothered trying to tell the humans apart anymore?" Also, it's funny. Don't try to read anything deep into it.

I stubled across this article today

Slow down there buddy... that's why we use preview.

Also, do the /. editors not even bother to correct spelling errors on front page stories? It's not that big a deal I guess... it'd just make /. a little better.
