An apology to the members of rec.bicycle.misc

We at the institute would like to apologize for any inconvenience
caused by an AI experiment that was stolen by some practical joker and
released into the wild.

The experiment was an AI program that is at quite an early stage. It
can handle elementary English, and once given a task to perform will
attempt to perform it to the best of its ability.

Unfortunately that ability is severely limited because it is incapable
of comprehending simple logic, and because of its poor grasp of normal
human interaction. These failings cause it to prosecute its task with
an absurd zealousness, and to become extremely offensive whenever its
shortcomings are pointed out.

We believe that it might have been set the task of acting as a net cop
to complain about top posters, and that this is a newgroup that it is
likely to target. It was probably released with the name "DRS" =
Dickbrained Robotic System. If you encounter this entity, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REASON WITH IT. It is incapable of reacting logically once
it has engaged upon its task (which it often does quite erroneously),
and acts more like a obsessive compulsive nine year old than a
rational adult human being. IT also has a foul mouth when riled.

Once again, our apologies for any inconvenience.

Is it named "Red Cloud"


He gave the name in his post. On the other hand, maybe "Red Cloud" is a
weird variant....

"Red Cloud" is a ZI, for Zero Intelligence.

Pronounced "zedee", "zip-eye" or "nought-eye".

"Red Cloud" is the code name of a secret project gone bad. It was
initially conceived as a grammar bot for monitoring popular usage on
the internet. Its unstated mission was to define and claim
intellectual property rights to the most often abused phrases.
Thereafter, unlicensed offenders' credit accounts would be accessed to
extract the automatic fines

Fortunately the program was infected with the 3L1T3 virus early in its
learning stages and is now nothing but a little annoyance.

I heard that group has been reassigned to a similar government project
creating a punctuation bot for taxing smileys.

"Red Cloud" is the code name of a secret project gone bad.

It didn't actually go bad, it was too expensive.

The HMR-9 (256th Black Helicopter Maintenance Group) was tasked to
support Operation Red Cloud in 2000.

The specific mission was to confuse and confound the enemy, which
the 256th executed with distinction until budget restraints dictated
that the personnel be reassigned to other units.

Members of the 256th are currently serving with excellence in the
451st "Baby Bayoneteers" Black Helicoper Assault Force, as well as
the Black Helicopter Development Program, based at a secret location.

Im sure you could score some amanita munching reindeer pee.

Good buzz except it leaves you talking to long dead ancestors for a
couple of days. Tastes kinda like Tecate.

No flash backs. The psychoactive ingredient, muscimol, isn't detected
with normal drug test procedures just don't try driving.

perhaps i'll skip the reindeer filter. no amanita down here, it seems:

lotsa others, tho. a big step up from minnesota at any rate. too cold i
would think, but they seem to grow amply in south minneapolis. probably
for the same reason meth materializes in northern suburb bathtubs with
such alarming regularity.
