Why is everyone thinking some sort of AI is involved when natural
stupidity is more than adequate to account for it?  Think of it...
the morons backing Argic wrote a fairly decent Eliza type program
(nearly as detached from reality as Racter); or one weenie (or a group
of them) who's managed to type in a bunch of articles and got a
government grant to figure out how to grep or the equivalent, and
posts even when he greps something unrelated because he's either
really not very bright, or just doesn't care?  There was some guy on
alt.activism who basically did the same thing.  He had a bunch of
typed/scanned articles and instead of actually defending/attacking
something, which he wasn't very good at, he'd just repost the same
articles, or other ones if he had enough on the subject.

Certainly some of the answers seem a bit strange and detached, but
what do you expect?   Calling Serdar an AI would be quit a compliment.
