And almost 60 messages later we find the following problem code with
automatic intelligence plugin "J. Liles"

j_liles = AngryDevPlugin.new();
j_liles.feelings_hurt = 1;
j_liles.circular_logic = 1;

---> Oh no! Infinite loop!


Please don't take offense, it's all in good fun!  I am not a dev, so
can't possibly have the intelligence or work ethic necessary to
substantiate my joke in any way -- it is obviously empty and useless!
Just like my existence!  Long live the developer, the one true hero of
our abject and miserably hopeless world!
