‘bots no, bots yes

I see the leading apostropphe as a potential source of typographic inelegances and syntax explosions and would rather refer to them as bots.  there are quite a few books with the word “bot” in the title in Amazon (see http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=bots&x=0&y=0) but none of them use the leading apostrophe.
