Yup. That's what the AGW crowd uses as justification for their
hysteria.
**** you. I'm not hysterical.

NEITHER AM I AND I'LL SUE ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's moments like these I wish I had the Berserker running. I'd hit
both
of
those posts with the Tourette Bot 
However I'm only in Oz for a few days to visit my kids so it's not been
worth setting up.

I need more coffee. I thought the opening comment in in the first archive
said "This script is intended to be used with a restraint order..."
In case you're wondering where I got the idea of transforming kooks'
posts in order to make fun of them, I got the idea from you, of
course.
Compliment taken, even if none was intended.
A compliment was intended. I'm slowly working towards writing a "Fred"
emulator for *nix.
If you want it, I'll gladly send you the Fred code, including the lexical
dictionary, conjugation rules, normalisations et al. It'll take a day or so
because the lexical dictionaries are encrypted and I have to extract some
code and modify it to dump the unencrytpted data. Mail me at the address in
my headers. Use the supersekrit Cabal Obsidian Order code word so I can
verify it's you I'm sending it to.
Many, many weelks of work went into building the lexical dictionary. Almost
endless research. I can save you an awful lot of time.
If you were still alive I'd thank you properly.
Neat stuff. I tend to code my transformations long-hand and don't make
much
use of RegEx. I'm of the opinion that Visual Studio's RegEx is slow, plus
I
need to learn it to a deeper level than I currently know it. I'll
disassemble your code into pseudocode to understand what it's doing. Many
thanks.
I'd rather use a standard library like PCRE, but in order to do so I'd
have to make my code portable, and if I learned how to do that I'd no
longer be able to start Usenet comments with "I'm not a programmer,
but...".
Seeing as I no longer need windows for work, perhaps now is a good time to
move permanently to linux. Hmmm...
In between getting full body massages and toe-sucks from any one of
several
Timorese rent-wives
Tip: try not to call one of them by another's name.
Oh, they know the rules. Any protests and they're fired.
I'm writing Berserker VI from the ground up as a basic
newsreader with all the bots within easy reach. I intend to GPL the
source
and put it up on my site, eventually.
Thanks in advance for that. Please use GPL 2, not 3.
However living in heaven is my
priority at the moment and electricity is a rare commodity.
Are you a regular in misc.survivalism yet?
lol - there is no internet where I live. No phones, nothing. Hell, there's
probably not even a satellite in the sky. I enjoy the very simple lifestyle.
Absolutely no pressure to do anything. I have all the time I want to teach
my new-found friends about cultivating better vegetables and avoiding
malaria. There are no strings and most of the women are beautiful, and
exceedingly friendly too, for the right number of Rupiah.
The only real issue is medical care. It's non-existent here so I come back
to Oz to see my kids and stock up on essential medications. The villagers
call on me now when some poor sod gets dysentery so I keep a good store of
Imodium on hand.
Modern trappings are available if I want them, but they're in Atambua, which
is a fair hike on a walking stick. There is an irregular coach service to
the city but the timetable appears to be based on reading tea leaves and the
fall of flung chicken entrails.
I have my cash from the sale of my property, after a divorce split. I have
my superannuation, and my website brings in more advertising revenue in one
day than I need to survive a week or more here. In five years I qualify for
a reduced Australian pension (I'm not at early retirment age yet), and the
throbbing in the groin I get when I look at my RP6,000,000,000 bank balance
can't be beat. Well, metaphorically speaking and with some exceptions.
Anyway, mail me if you want Fred's guts. If you're serious about writing
something like Fred then this'll save you an awful lot of work. No
obsequious thanks required; I'd do the same for a white man.
