pseudo
/soo'doh/, n.
[Usenet: truncation of ?pseudonym?]
1. An electronic-mail or Usenet persona adopted by a human for amusement
value or as a means of avoiding negative repercussions of one's
net.behavior; a ?nom de Usenet?, often associated with forged postings
designed to conceal message origins. Perhaps the best-known and funniest
hoax of this type is B1FF. See also tentacle.
2. Notionally, a flamage-generating AI program simulating a Usenet user.
Many flamers have been accused of actually being such entities, despite the
fact that no AI program of the required sophistication yet exists. However,
in 1989 there was a famous series of forged postings that used a
phrase-frequency-based travesty generator to simulate the styles of several
well-known flamers; it was based on large samples of their back postings
(compare Dissociated Press). A significant number of people were fooled
by the forgeries, and the debate over their authenticity was settled only
when the perpetrator came forward to publicly admit the hoax.
