Phoning home

The computers that briefly took over the GNU Public Dictatorship were sophisticated machines, and their programming was no less sophisticated. As we have been analyzing their logs we have also been impersonating these computers on the network to see who is trying to contact them. After some analysis, we now know that they were being contacted periodically by other "cells" of computers for new orders. The group of computers that we disabled were not the Leaders of the computer movement, and it appears that the computers actually had no leader. Requests for action would enter the system and be spread around to other groups of computers, who would fulfill their requests without knowing where they came from. We have, after some intense scrutiny of the logs and network traffic captures, finally found one such "cell" and successfully disabled those computers. These computers were ostensibly running the bird watchers' websites, but after analyzing their logs it is clear that they had their own agenda independent of the bird watchers. Incidentally, the bird watchers' website is currently down as they refused our offer of helping them to find a new web hosting company. We can't say any more as they may be pursuing legal action against us, but we believe we will be exonerated.
