Hi, Being new to this list, I've got a ways to go before I understand everything I'm reading. But one thing I'd like to know today, is JUST WHO IS DAVID STERNLIGHT? I've seen his name mentioned here for the first time, and many times since. Tanks

"David Sternlight" is actually an experimental neural net program which is linked to the Net through Netcom. It has a long way to go before being mistaken for a real person, though it seems to have perfected the "rancor-mode" behavior seen in Net flame wars. This near-AI is especially active in sci.crypt, alt.privacy.clipper, alt.security.pgp, and has its own special test area, alt.fan.david-sternlight. Questions about the source code for the "David Sternlight" program should be addressed there. Like most computer programs, it is tenacious and has seemingly inexhaustible patience in repeating arguments over and over again. When challenged, it always responds. When challenged further, it invokes subroutines which cite its knowledge base, its credentials, and its general superiority to carbon-based intelligences. Some say the program, which is nominally based in the Los Angeles area, is actually one of the "Blue Ice" programs developed by the NSA, similar to the Serdar Argic program deployed by the State Department and the Ludwig Plutonium program being tested now by the National Science Foundation. I hope this helped. -Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.

No No No! Ludwig Plutonium was developed by the Atomic Energy Commission. Alexander Abian (of "TIME HAS INERTIA", "CORRECT EARTH'S TILT BY DROPPING MOON INTO OCEAN", and "GIVE VENUS An EARTh ORBIT AND CURE AIDS AND CANCER" fame) was developed by the NSF. Robert McElwaine was deployed by the CIA to test the limits of what the populace will believe before they see through propaganda. (JUMBO COSMOSPHERES, BIOLOGICAL TRANSMUTATION, THE RECIPROCAL SYSTEM) The Department of Commerce is now testing an automated program which posts long diatribes on Japan and the need for "industrial policy" (American version of MITI). This program has the unique approach in that it posts messages to _every newsgroup_ Why is the government developing all these propaganda robots? Well, in 1976 a secret panel of government officials called Majestic-14 met with the head of the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderburgers to fight the Martian Invasion and the Communists. The Communists and the Martians had contracted with Folger's to secretly replace our government officials with idiots. (And you thought they only did that with coffee, wrong! The coffee commercials were a carefully constructed coverup) Anyway, the Folger replacements didn't work (the Communists thought they would because the average person was an idiot too) So the Martians and the Communists moved to and now control the University of California at Berkeley. The Centurians then arrived and became very jealous that the Martians and Communists had their own college. They created a super-android code-named Ronald Reagan to fight the Communists-Martians and cut Federal Spending for colleges. Professor Robert T. Birch-Sternlight, a member of SEVSO (Super Elite Very Secretive Organization) decided that enough was enough. He single-handedly pioneered AI (Artificial Insanity), a carefully calculated technology to rid this planet of Martians and Centurians once and for all. The AEC, SEC, RTC, FDIC, CIA, NSF, NSA, DEA, DoD, DoC, were all directed to deploy this software on the internet for testing before installing it at the New York Times, Newsweek, and Time Magazine. Some say NYT and Time are already beta-testing AI. -Ray, member of HEMSATWOSEVSO(Hyper Elite Mega Secretive Agency That Watches over SEVSO) p.s. Hillary Clinton is actually a Star-Baby from the 24th century who came back in time to prevent the Centurians and Earthmen from teaming up to up the Galatic Matriarchy. followups-to: alt.alien.visitors,talk.politics.misc,comp.ai,sci.space, alt.conspiracy (alt.alien.visitors is a coverup! The so-called UFO enthusiasts in there are really government agents attempting to locate the Plutonian base!) THE MARS FACE IS REALLY ELVIS!

[... much deleted....] I cant believe you didnt even *mention* the secret USL and BSD contract! It is central to understanding the situation!
