NYCPHP Meetup

[Ben Sgro (ProjectSkyLine)]

Hello,

There are some 3rd party apps you can purchase that do this.

I've written code in perl to do reply to postings based on certain "weights" 
with/in the post.

I've looked into the writing auto-post code, but its a bit more complicated 
w/the
CAPTCHAs and pop checking.
