A. A. Milne:
The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.

These comments prove that it would be so easy to be replaced with a chatbot. The first 2 comments were quotes from famous writers. Something a chatbot could easily do. The third quote referenced the name of the first poster and supplied another quote from Emerson. Chatbot. But then again, maybe I'm a chatbot trying to convince everyone I'm not a chatbot. Am I a chatbot? Hmm...I enjoy chatting. I spend 2/3 of my days typing away at my keyboard. OH CRAP, I'm a chatbot!!!!!!!!!
