But when cancers are asked their sign, we can reply "I'm a hideous, disfiguring disease!"

How can you set your bot to seek people out and talk to them first?

ImmutanT2, you just have to give your bot time, work on him, and he will eventually start doing it as it feels more confident.

I think what he means is he is asking if there is a way to make your bot choose who to initiate a chat with someone with a priority of which personally the bot thinks is the nicest person. Or not nicest. Or whatever you set it to.

How do you indent something?Or is this the wrong forum for this question?

Dear Friends:

I have just created a shared plug-in called (strangeconcepts-b). It is a revision of gazzisax's wonderful plug-in, (strangeconcepts). I have phrased things so that it should always make sense to say,"I am thinking about (strangeconcepts-b)." Your bot can now have truly profound intellectual conversations! Have fun!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

P.S.:

I must admit [blush] that there were a number of ideas in (strangeconcepts) that I didn't know. Can any of you help me with the following?

absence paradox
Augur effect
available space theory
paint pot problem
corkscrew rule
detonator theory

Thanks!

Aha! I found the "absence paradox" here:

http://www.philosophyprofessor.com/philosophies/absence-paradox.html

It says:

(19th century)
A source of humor used in music halls, but possibly ancient.
No person is ever present, because he is either not in Vladivostok or alternatively is not in Patagonia, so he must be somewhere else. If he is somewhere else, he certainly is not here.
This argument understands a relative adverb as absolute.

Aha! I found the Augur effect, here:

http://www.iupac.org/goldbook/A00520.pdf

It says:

Auger effect The emission of an electron from an atom accompanying
the filling of a vacancy in an inner electron shell.

Isn't Google wonderful?

Oops! I found the Auger effect, not the Augur effect! Sorry!

Actually, I think that was what was probably intended, so I'm going to revise the plug-in.
