I find his blog (http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/ http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/) often very funny. Insight with wit. Better than just insight or just wit. imho.

  Question: why are you posting the same comment to multiple stories? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=216787 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=216787

    And did you know that you're probably replying to a bot that posts dozens of stories from alleyinsider.com ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=204760 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=204760 http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=fromedome http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=fromedome http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=fromedome http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=fromedome http://www.ycombinator.search.xirium.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?p=0&q=author:fromedome http://www.ycombinator.search.xirium.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?... ), nowhere else, and has never contributed to a discussion on this forum?

      Yes, I saw that, but it is the content not the submitter that mattered.

        In a previous post ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=214742 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=214742 ), you describe circumstances in which you evaluate contributions based upon the contributor.

      Hi. Not a bot; just a busy guy.
      • babul 18y ago
        Hi fromedome. Thank you for your submissions. Good to know you are not a bot :)
      • xirium 18y ago
        I only said that you was probably a bot. A good method to determine if you are a bot is by drawing attention to the situation. A bot would very probably ignore the implication. So, you're either a very well written bot or a person. I now think that you're probably a person.

    Because it is the same story (albeit in two forms) and was posted here within minutes of each other. Hence the same response.
