Well, the Brain-Dead Mini-Storm Of Gibberish Bot Spam seems to have
slackened off for the nonce-- but could begin again at any time, of course.

Welcome to the real world.
Did you know that some bot picked up your name earlier this month and
faked a post from you with the same randomly generated content? One
difference from the latest campaign was that the message went to only
one group, not one to which you normally post, as far as I know:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aqua ... ode=source
It wasn't a campaign against you personally. The bot took the names of
other frequent posters (Agamemnon, Giwer, etc.) and posted them to
rec.aquaria.marine.reefs. And the posts came from Burma, of all
places.

Re: Mini-Storm Of Bot Spam Ceases?
The Bot Controller/s acted as a selective faux sock puppet -- pure and
simple.
I'm well aware they have posted isolated fraudulent posts pretending to be
me before. I deliberately chose not to respond -- and may do so again.
The bot-generated faux sock puppet campaign targeted only ME initially, with
most of their fire power, hoping to stir up Hate & Discontent AGAINST ME and
only LATER expanded the campaign to OTHERS,
Par For The Course...
Water Off A Duck's Back...
They have obviously FAILED -- because I kicked their arses first, then --
when they saw the campaign was NOT just against me [in which case they would
have remained on the sidelines, scratching and giggling] taf and Don Stone
emerged from their mouse holes and posted.
In any case the Bot Controller/s Faux Sock Puppet Campaign has ---- COME A
CROPPER.
Deeeeeeeeeelightful!
And I Win Yet Again...
All 'Round.
