B_E_S seems like a Spambot, or artifical intelligence experiment gone bad.

Not really and in view of others' excentricities here he's pretty tame.
He ain't gonna get rich off of flogging open source software, is he?
Furthermore, he's into snake venom so he's ok by me.

I don't have anything against him/her if it's a real person... just seemed like a madlib assembly of nouns that doesn't form a thought. I was sucked in by certain keywords related to my technology field, but then found it to be nonsensical to the point that a human couldn't have done it on accident. Perhaps I've stuck my foot in my mouth when I should just shut up. Wouldn't be the first time.

OK, folks. It's time to ban Burchey's IP address, as amusing as "Burchey...or Skully" and "Dingus Milkburch" is.

Werner's correct, he is a funny person.
Ban headcheese and send Bouche-D#@&%er...or Skully a canned ham.
Pork products unite!
Stop casting porosity, too, if you know how...

I had a beer with Chris a while ago and we were discussing the value of succinct thread titles. "You mean like Death to Spammers" to which he laughed and cracked a big grin.
"Yeah, like that."

B_E_S
Before I thought it was just a bad AI experiment for the heck of it.
Now I think it's a bad AI experiment designed to improve google search results for the customers of whoever created it.
They algorithmically generate garbage content using minimal feedback from the forum content itself, and plaster with links to their client sites. When people debate the gibberish or even reply "huh what?" then the weight of supertopo (or the other victim forums) in google searches lends credibility to the links embedded in the forum by B_E_S that point at the client sites.
In other words, we are being used to improve search engine results for other links completely unrelated to climbing. Beyond that, most of the pseudo-technical random mish-mash coming out is garbage. Occasionally entertaining, but now it's branching out into multiple threads and occupying page 1 real estate.
By the way, my last post in the longer B_E_S thread was a geek joke, utter nonsense (or calculatedly bad info mixing reality and fantasy) to mirror what B_E_S is spewing.
