So considering that there hasn't been a single word from the staff of SE about this thread or botting in general, I'm going to take it that this is a lost cause and a colossal waste of time, considering SE always sends me the same cut and paste reply when I contact them, I am going to take it as this is the least of their worries and if we can't accept their obvious validation of botting then we either need to just move on or accept bots as a way of virtual life.
