Tim attributes something to Barry:

[Barry] Yes, it was. I don't remember why it was changed; we were probably accused of exclusivity. That's how these things often happen. Someone also claiming to be "Barry" retorts: [Barry] That wern't me. I think it was Fred. If you scan the headers of "Fred"'s message, you'll find 13 in there. That's Barry's secret number, so Barry must have sent it. Fred's secret number is 68, and the headers of this later msg claiming to be from Barry contain: Message-Id: <1075514668.1075.375.camel at anthem> ^^ QED. Nevertheless, I agree that the message I attributed to Barry claimed to have been sent by Fred. I'm afraid you'll have to work harder than that to make a fool of me, guys.

No, they won't. This is python-dev, not psf-members; we don't care who's posting here (as long experience with bots proves), only whether they make sense. You're not making sense, so your bot needs a tuneup.
