Strikes me with the same questions being asked over and over, with the same replies over and over...
Forums like this are simply a purvey of bots.
Clever I gotta say... but as Abe Lincoln once said....
Of course it consists of real people, people are much more effective than bots and there's no way bots alone can run a whole forum. Bots are useful for time consuming activities like tallying and for auto transactions but on the whole humans are always preferred.
