Once upon a time, some spam decided to get togehter and plot a timeline. Think of that email of wealthy person from an African nation. Everybody knows this. It has made a mark on our history. The mark contains secrets that only spammers know. I don't know them. I feel oppressive guessing what they might be. - People have starting saying recently that a lot of the people who talk online are bots. I can't tell ,really, if somebody's a bot, a human-guided computer program, or a person being forced to do things that look stupid to me on the internet. Often they seem to act like a person, to me. It can take me some remembering to think this, though. I think basically I try to err on the side that they are a person, because if they are it would be quite rude to assume they're a bot. This makes me much more vulnerable, and kinder.
