So, I was clearing out my Wordpress spamtrap today. *Most* of it was just ads for casinos and stock-trading and call girls (as they put it), the usual crap.

But one of them was a bot that saw the number of duplicate (botched incremental backup) and near-duplicate (reblog chains that I participated in multiple times) posts, *assumed I was an SEO scraper bot*, and offered to sell me software to make me look more person-like.

Ooh! That's some kind of reverse Turing test, and as such, needs a name.

... That's pretty neat. I like that. (Though, who checks the spam accounts on their bots for ads? I guess someone must, and they'd be pretty chuffed to get that kind of useful data.

... This is making my love of e-life flare up)
