That would be interesting to dig up. I managed to dig up some old archives of DaWarren
and found the chatterbot I was looking for. It's called "Babble" and is now
available at http://661.org/tmp/babble.zip. I'd love to find some source code for
reimplementing this.

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

The basic
patter of this program was to ingest text, mix it up, and emit
something that sounds like the original, but turned into a word salad.
Using a Shakespeare play and something from Ian Flemming as input files
would result in stuff that looks like a Shakespearean spy thriller to
varying degrees depending on how you set the input proportions.
I remember an article in Byte about soemthing a bit like this. The word
'Travesty' is coming to mind, but I am not sure why. But I thought that
only took one input file and amy a piece of 'similar' text from it.
