Esteemed Colleague Bill: Yes, the software is cancelling your faithful correspondent but only when he comments via UO network. I don’t want to make Esteemed Colleague any more paranoid than he surely already is, but is this perhaps an instance of UO sabotage?

Yes, an Android would work, wouldn’t it? If you see a driverless Tesla headed towards you remember that you can’t outrun it, and if you lie down and play dead the infrared cameras will know you are not, yet. Our only hope is to climb trees and wait for their batteries to die.
