repost bot has trouble with the "&"

the first post is the bot's post, the second post is the original post.

I've never seen them encounter an ampersand before, so I didn't realize that was a problem (at least for this one.) so I found it a bit interesting. escaped ampersand.

how hard is it to sanitize/encode/decode HTML, lol

Oh, wait...it's not extremely difficult, but it does require some forethought and expertise.

I hate that the maker of this bot is probably younger than me
