   Ah, that was just me reading too fast to pick up on the joke (and being   
   eager to rant about the plague of AI search-engine spam). It's pretty   
   funny how absurd it gets sometimes - not long ago I saw an AI-generated   
   history web page supposedly about the invention of window glass, but   
   about halfway through it veered off into writing about MS-DOS... because   
   that was what people used before Windows.

   Good luck! (random thought, do you also get the error when you start a   
   new thread, or just when following up to an existing message?)
