    I try very hard not to get involved in flames, but because of your
    patronising tone, and the obvious inference that you think I'm thick,
    I'm not prepared to let this one go.

    I'll post it again.

    (from grc.com)

    "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."

    Notice that he almost uses your own words.
