I have a Google alert on "D programming language" and it sometimes yields pages like this:

http://swpp.co.uk/lovegovee.php?lib=1612

It looks like random sentences either scraped from other sites or generated using a language model. What would be the purpose of all this?


Thanks,

Andrei

It seems a markov-chain generated page :)
Some months ago I took all user-comments (thousands) from the website
I'm working for, and using a markov chain I published new random
comments.

We should try with newsgroup archives. So we can post random dlang questions and answers :)
