These Random Robot Roundups are just fascinating and amazing. Thanks for posting another good one.

I don't suppose it would help to ask you politely to stop spamming the site with your unrelated replies, would it?

Steve, your worthy site should not engage in censorship but should let people communicate their ideas to other persons interested in robotics. Some ideas are so hard to understand, but potentially so valuable, that they need to be communicated in a very aggressive way that may look like spamming, but is merely an insistence on being heard. You, Steve, of all people, should take a stand against censorship. -Arthur of AI4U

No one is suggesting you be censored. Any member of robots.net, even uncertified users, can post in their robots.net blog to their heart's content about their own theories of AI. I'm simply asking you not to vandalize what you call a "worthy site" with these unrelated posts.

Why not build (or buy) a simple robot kit and try to implement a robot controller based on your ideas? Write it up and send me a link. I'll happily post a story about it. But all you're going to do by spamming every story with these self-serving links is annoy everyone.
