experiments in whaling - save the whale - or not?

Hang on - you write a post, get upvoted by bots, then get downvoted by other bots for equal measure in some sort of whaling experiment - bots having a whale of a time apparently. No idea what the hells going on myself, but whatever - so long as the whales are enjoying their own shenanigans, I guess we'll just carry on...

Or not
