Newspaper mention of my complaint-letter generator

Here's a brief mention of the automatic complaint-letter generator appearing in the 16 September 1998 Chicago Tribune, in an article by Lynn Voedisch entitled, Wit on the Web:


Eerily useful is the Automatic Complaint-letter Generator (www.csag.cs.uiuc.edu:80/individual/pakin/complaint), which is nothing more than a random text program. But it seems to know what you're thinking. A test complaint about Whitewater special prosecutor Ken Starr brought this sterling sentence: I undeniably find his fondness for inquisitions, witch hunts, star chambers and kangaroo courts most mad. Prescient? You be the judge.
