Then HIRE me to code AI Minds and to refrain from Usenet posting.
My 20aug2003 post to flog the blog above was on-topic for Java AI;
the 1000's of follow-up posts have been unintended consequences.

ATM:
Oh, yeah?  Kent Paul Dolan is a known trafficker in ideas.
Ideas are contraband in the 2003 USA.  Thou shalt be stultified.
It's not my fault that two thousand follow-ups have occurred.
Please, why can't I just do AI Minds like a shareware coder?

ATM:
Now see here, Commander Dolan, USN disbanded discredited:
We don't need no steenking excuses from you to post to Usenet.
I would rather keep on coding AI Minds and writing AI textbooks
but summer is over and I am tired of diving to the bottom of 
http://www.tamfischer.com/greenlake.asp -- Green Lake -- to
hunt for gold and silver treasures that fund the AI Project.

ATM:
Why don't you just subsidize my free AI and buy me off a la
http://www.ewg.org/farm -- farm subsidies where swells like
Yo Mama's heroes were paid millions to refrain from farming.

Just like a drunken sailor, every man has his price.
Let's make a deal, Kommander Kent.  If you or any other
Netizen sends me a pittance or a bar code/receipt from
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595259227/ AI4U,
then I will entirely skip posting on the following day.

However, you have to print out your own hardcopy book
http://mentifex.virtualentity.com/ai4udex.html Index.

ATM:
I will eliminate the crosspost key when it is pried 
loose from my cold dead fingers; or, failing that -- on 
The Day After (wasn't that a great movie?) an AI farm subsidy
comes in from one or more patrons of the AI arts, I will
not post, and, if nominated, I will not run a followup.

http://www.kurzweilai.net/mindx/profile.php?id=26 "Mentifex"
tells how to be the Netizen who hush-fundeded Mentifex when
http://www.q-ag.de/~wspraul/fsdd/ failed to support PD AI.

ATM:
Sheesh!  Al Gore invented the Internet, and you invented Usenet?
She's like your daughter, then? Well, let's re-enact the scenes
of yore from the Beloved Infidel stories of Scott Fitzgerald
("the rich are different from you and me"), where you as
Daddy find a way to per$uade Jody to get out of Dodge.

With your pittance indicate whether you want credit for funding AI
either on a webpage tabulation or as your-name-on-a-mind-species.
