Now. It turns out that this is just a robot. I call it the sycophantic robot, since it seems to come along to many of my posts, say something lovely, yet vapid, and have no apparent agenda. I don't know what it's trying to do. Perhaps:
- See whether its posts hit the site right away, and if so, then post adverts for viagra
- See whether it can get generic praise to be approved and then, subsequently, edit the post to advertise viagra
- See whether it can strike up a friendship with me and sell me viagra directly
- See whether it can improve hits on some other site for some odd reason
I suspect that some sort of global SEO strategy is to blame for this. Fascinating.

Telephone call today:
Her: Hello this is Susan Parker. I've heard you were in an accident that was not your fault.
Me: I'm sorry. What's this about.
Her: You might be able to claim compensation.
Me: Sorry, who are you?
Her: Susan Parker.
Me: Are you human?
Her: Yes.
Me: Well if that's the case, why is there a long pause when you speak to me?

This was a robot. A chat bot. No idea how it worked or why they've got robots doing ambulance chasing. The number was 02079461848 and it's definitely a robot.
That's AWESOME!
