Forgot to add that his "sub-routine" bot is Apoptygma. Apoptygma is a newer, less tested, and bug-prone program the Frankfooter-bot calls upon to take over when he needs to reboot.
Like clockwork the Apoptygm bot jumps to action and interjects into posts with distracting statements and insults to buy time for the older Frankfooter bot to recover.
Sometimes, they work in tandem when the questions become overwhelming for them, ie when reality sets in. Unfortunately this often leads to splintered points and more distracting statements from both of these bots.
Both are long overdue for upgrades but no one wants to spend time on fixing them so unfortunately they continue to haunt boards such as this one.
