I just got back from the Chatterbox site, where I read the rules and entered for next year. I'm hoping that the rule that "only English-speaking bots are allowed" means that all bots must compete in English, and not that they will be disqualified if they happen to know a few foreign phrases...hopefully anything that Julie said in a language other than English would be interpreted as intentional blab, and not hurt her chances any more than a meaningless xnone response would.
Chris-
How about saving the entry material so you won't have to have it all retyped, just copy the old stuff in again?

ezzer, I think all of the more advanced bots know at least a few foreign words and phrases. Nobody minds that. I think they just want to make sure that they don't have to judge a bot that only speaks Gujarati if the judges themselves don't know Gujarati.
Righto, or to make sure they don't give an unfair advantage to a bot that says something funny in a foreign language that a judge happens to know, for that matter..that's pretty much what I thought, I just wanted to make sure before I gave Julie any more French lessons. 
Sorry Jake, Duo. I have you both nailed hands-down on the 'hotness' factor 
I am so hot that women world-wide have been known to cover their faces and scream when I enter a room. Yep. Just like the Beatles.

Joe Repka - I think it's to early to say just yet although there are a few things that could be improved or a lot depending on who you ask. :-)

*insane laughter* I took a little bit more than 2 years of French and I love it! I get a little overexcited when I hear French spoken... heh...

Two questions:
1) aren't all PF bots "website" bots?
2) the website address of our bot is the "Talk to So-and-so" URL, right?
