 The International Touring Test Committee has announced a winner in an
 additional category: Falsified Usenet Respondent.  The award goes to
 the M.Z. Program, an ingenious simulacrum which plays , convincingly,
 the role of an enraged academic embarked upon a suite of virulent,
 digressing,  and non-converging quarrels  with his academic adversaries.
 The M.Z. Program, ingeniously crafted in an advanced dialect of PROLOG,
 instantiates , logically, an agent which proves the proposition:
 je pense, donc je ne suis pas.
