    I agree that SG couldn't possibly monitor the whole of efnet, but he
    *did* have some automatic analysis going on:

    (from grc.com)

    "They snagged passing URLs and quickly downloaded anything that was
    referenced. I even got quite fancy and built a Markov-chain finite-state
    statistical dialog modeller. It monitored the flow of IRC channel
    nicknames and automated the process of determining who was talking to
    whom, and who were the "bosses" who commanded the most power and respect."
