The bots are learning? Becoming self-aware?

I've noticed that the usernames come in at least three flavours: two types that end in four numbers, and at least one type comprising only random(-ish?) letters.

The thread titles also come in flavours: the ones using "medical" terminology and the one which is just random words. The latter ones are sometimes fun.

Yes, I have been bored lately...
