:Chris hasn't seen Carmyl in action.  1500 manually-generated postings in a
:day.  Sheesh.


I've seen a newsgroup flooded by hand. Neil O'Connor and the One Funk Crew,
flooding alt.music.hardcore with hundreds of one-liners per day in early
1997.

(This was just before they tried the same thing on alt.gothic and got their
posting fingers burnt off.)

Flooding by hand is just a matter of determination.
