I know that you guys think I'm kidding about a Ruben bot but consider a few things:

1) A recommendation engine is extremely useful and versatile as it can be used in so many ways for so many things. It's has been done before. It's not hard.

2) The most commonly used phrases on a message board are "Use the search, (newb|noob|lazy $ss)", "I used the search and couldn't find", "I think someone posted about this once but I can't remember who".

3) Part of UBB's DNA has always been that features, parts of code, or methods become named after a community member if it is appropriate. Consider Graemlins for example. Ruben deserves this in his honor for all the work that he does here answering all the mundane boring questions that the more "pro" of us (me included) can't/don't want to be bothered with. There is nobody better.
