Actually it was an answer to "Stanislaw Flatto" who ranted a bit about
the missing "noise" in Slackware. He had installed an OS from the dark
site because Skype here could make the desired "noise".

So the term "noisegenerator" was a just my follow-up to Stanislaw's
little joke.

Ditto the whole thing. I put out the first 5 or so AOLS fortune mods
without any idea of how many people were actually reading it. Now
that it is on a site I control I can see how many people are actully
paying some attention to it. Which isn't many in the big view of
things but the average release gets more downloads than the twice
number of posters in the group in an average month.

How much feed back do I get? Almost none. How many submissions do I
get? Maybe 5 per month. Why do I do it? So I can get ad money from
people visiting my site. Oh, wait, I don't have any adds.

1. collect modquotes
2. ?
3. profit
