earlier this week, i polled this group concerning whether jss took
north's job.  (the votes aren't all in yet, but it looks like jss
not only got the job, but has won over the hearts and minds of the
net-people.)  a couple of hard-working netters complained that i was
posting garbage to the net.  i politely replied "please vote 1) or
2), thanks" but it got me to thinking.

how can they tell it's garbage?
is there an algorithm?
could it be programmed?
can i get a copy of this program?
