Apologies, but I already tried all standard net searches on this. Someone recently posted a .shar archive for a program called Markov, which filters input Usenet posts and outputs a reasonable facsimile of that person's "style". (It was posted in one of the "Alice" threads, in response to the claim that posting styles could be a unique form of identification.) I also looked on the archives at hks.net, but had no luck there. If some kind person will post it again, I'll give it a home on my page of WWW resources. I have the binary, and am impressed and amused enough to keep it for regular use.. anyone for alt.usenet.kooks.markov? -- http://yakko.cs.wmich.edu/~frogfarm ...for the best in unapproved information EmmaGoldmanCamillePagliaMarieCurieAynRandSapphoDianaToriAmosPJHarvey&Demona Hate, hate your enemies save, save your friends find, find your place I feel a groove comin' on | speak..speak the truth | Freedom...yeah, right.
