I believe Ched hasn't considered the possibility that the bot has a human operator. Some operators post under the logins their bots made to fool admins into thinking it's a legit member.
This thread bears the main hallmarks, as does the response to Kal's poem. While indeed it may be an awesome poem (I didn't read it), I've seen bots that do this before. They just post a scripted response to attempt to legitimise themselves.
