It's newish. Might be that they think it's less likely to fall foul by looking faintly relevant, but the usual pattern is finding edits...

Have to wonder what the point is of all the AI posts. Other than being an irritation they don’t seem to have the usual end game of a ‘normal’ spammer

Mine's a Durston C100 and I use it a lot. It will make and resize square wire and half round but not round wire. As far as rolling coins, it is...

Spookily enough, I've come to the same conclusion. I'm going to experiment with mounting a hand saw on a 'piston' and gearing it to do long slow...
