Landru was originally programmed by Bostic, but I think was run by at least 3 other people (IIRC Sorceror had one up and running at one time).
I had a copy of the program once, just for curiosity's sake. Was surprised how simple his "good" and "bad" word list and the algorithm to rate a post thus were 8)

and still keep the frog you started with.

Funny but I actually remember that too, as I was a witness. Too bad no one took screenshots.

The Trading Post people (with DB among them) moved to "Public Chat TP" (US West) in 2001, i just checked the channel and found one bot, but unfortunately no DainBramage.
I used to collect his statements, here be some:

Firstly, I must apologise for this necro-post. I was searching the forum for another piece of information and this came up, and I just couldn't resist.:D
DainBramage` of the Trading Post was invented and maintained by LittleOne who also had a few other lesser-known aliases. When LittleOne quit Battle.Net games for good, he passed Dain onto The`Real`Janus, who then passed it onto Insanity`Rules. Insanity`Rules or some variation of that name is probably the person you still see in Public Chat TP today.
Lunan, if you were still interested in obtaining Dain, flick me an e-mail to distortion@orcon.net.nz and I'll see what I can get for you, as I still have contact to one or two people with copies of Dain.:)
