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/user?id=fromedome http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=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 ), you describe circumstances in which you evaluate contributions based upon the contributor.

Hi. Not a bot; just a busy guy.

Hi fromedome. Thank you for your submissions. Good to know you are not a bot :)

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.
