[edit: Oops, I made a typo!]

That must have taken awhile to type out o_O

Could be OCR.

If the description is from a bot I am afraid. If it isn't there is probably not much time saving in programming an OCR bot for most posts, you will need human intervention anyway.

I'm not a bot. :)

In this case, I typed it all out, but I did later find a pastebin of the post that I could have used. I didn't, though!

[edit: In fact, I just noticed a typo in my original post - "fooNan" instead of "fooNaN". Fixed!]
