The real trick would be trying to separate a real Hallerb posting from a
fake one, based on internal content. This would be like trying to tell a
real Jackson Pollock painting from a faked one by looking at it-
Hallerb's posts may contain just about anything, and that content may be
spelled in any one of numerous ways. Similarly, without having some
witness who can remember Pollock doing a particular "painting".... or a
radiological examination of the "art" that indicates that it dates from
after Pollock's death in 1956, it would be hard to tell whether one was
looking at a Pollock painting- or a section of a messy paint shop's floor.
In much the same way, a computer could be programed to generate "Random
Hallerb Postings" (RHPs) with considerable fidelity to the real item.
I suggest Julian Bordas to program the random spelling part of the program.
