Why are the bots always looking at this topic?

Is there something special about it? It seems like every time I am on this forum, there is at least one bot lurking on this topic.

Maybe it's just you. I've seen them looking at this topic once or twice, but not every time.

There are no words in that entire post.

Just strings of letters.

It has theoretically every single 1, 2, and 3 letter word in the English language in it. If you didn't notice, the "sting of letters" follow a very simple pattern.

Besides those, they could also be various abbreviations to all sorts of things.

It stops at x, so the bit about "every" is a bit of a stretch.

But I suppose I see your point.

Or the bot programmer was told to look for "Interesting" topics and took it too literally.
