Nicely put Shiz. Interestingly the "human" posts generally get good response and do generate replies.
A couple of statistics may help, from 283 Newsbot posts 262 have not had a reply - leaving only 21 with replies (from those only 4 have had 3 replies or more).
A suggestion would be to place the newsbot threads in an admin only category. From here, admins and mods would "farm out" the useful ones and move them to the public forum. At this point they could then either edit the post with some more relevant information, or post a reply comment. This should, in turn, increase the level of interaction.
Of course, thsi is only my take on it. Feedback from other regular members might give a more balanced view though.
