Re^3: Vote bot

Thanks, Beatnik, for not leaving this clever program available for abuse. The last thing PM needs is random noise introduced by bots. About as useful as the bot making random sarcastic remarks to randomly selected nodes. Fun, but not necessarily funny. It all depends on where the "educational" purpose of the program ceases to exist, and malicious amusement becomes the primary objective.

Nice show, though. Points for style!

Bone::Easy is funny, apart from the physical abuse you would sustain from a test of this product on members of the opposite sex (or the sex of your choice, depending on your particular requirements/preferences). The problem with a toy/tool/nuclear weapon like 'votebot' is that it's all fun and games until it takes on a life of its own. Best to keep it contained in a Level 4 virus lab where it can do no harm.
