Attention: I am the SDMB

That is, all the usernames but yours are socks of the same AI. Jeez, I fooled you this long?! There are only 20 of you meatbots worldwide in this beta-Turing Test, and none of you has ever seen a post of one of the others! Actually, each of you is interacting with a slightly different SDMB, as it were.

Well, that's that. On to world conquest. Thanks for your help!

Must be one heck of an expense budget. I've met WAY more than 20 Dopers over the years. A few I've met on a whim where the setup would have been tough to do on the fly.

Yeah, well, they're the only real ones. Those of us who showed up at your parties were hired actors, including the one pretending to be RTFirefly. We had to pay him extra to meet up with you on that bike trip several years back.

If all of these posts are yours, why do you keep reviving zombie threads? And what's with all the stupid polls? Also can you eliminate some of the more tedious users?

These are my complaints. At least I think they are my complaints. Are you controlling my brain, BrainGlutton?

Oh, and before I go, in case you were wondering: Cecil Adams and Ed Zotti are both real.

Real computer scientists.

And, soon, real Evil Overlords.
