A bot is a program that craws the web. Search engines use them to index the web. Well behaved ones don't hit websites that fast though. if a bot is well behaved, you can exclude it with a line in your robots.txt file.
So what's this one's "user agent string"? sometimes that can be a clue.
I am probably the huge hit on your site from last night.
I cannot seem to read more than a paragraph off the screen, so I grab long articles and print them. I am sure the greenies are looking for me right now, but this allows me to use the best known most familiar User Interface, which can be read in nearly any location under nearly all conditions (darkness sucks...). I found a great deal of interesting stuff, so I just sat down and grabbed the material for off-line and off electricity reading.
I am a long time conservative and repeated reader of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." No collectivist here.

Yeah, is that me on the APO AP? I know I check out your site, but I didn't think I checked it out THAT much!

I'd say it's a spider. Or someone who works at a coffee joint...
Or some loser trying to hack your site.
Best guess is that it's a bot of some kind.
A bot doing what?

Oh! What a disappointment.
I'm not disappointed. Somebody new found my site and was interested enough to read a LOT!
I've got someone reading my archives, as I type this, whose been on for 2 hours, 11+ minutes.
