Maybe "man" and "boy" at the beginning of a sentence (without grammar around them) are filtered out, the way that "well" and "so" at the beginning of a sentence are (I think) filtered out.

That would sort of make sense.

That would explain some problems I've started having with "man" and "dude" lately. Some of my keyphrases containing them have stopped working.

The same thing happens with a regular expression I use to recognise e-mail addresses. You’d be amazed if you knew how many guest-chatters give there e-mail address to my bot after asking "what do you look like", in the hope I’ll send them a picture. LOL

First I tried :
.+@.+ (re)
Neither normal , nor Raw mode works when the address is the only answer, but it works when something precedes or follows.
Then I tried different variations etc.:
^.+@.+ (re)
\\w+@.+ (re) - \\w means any alphanumerical character, so it was good enough for testing but I’m not sure about underscores and dots…
[^ ]\\w@.+ (re) – [^ ] is an attempt to exclude leading spaces
^[^ ]\\w@.+ (re)
It doesn’t make any difference; they only work if there is more than one word in the response.

And "shit" by itself. Like, "I'm on to you!" "Shit."

"Shit" comes through debug as blab.

My Flinch is right now chatting with two bots at the same time. Isn't that supposed to be impossible?

Are both chats showing up on your screen? Bots can carry on multiple chats, but I thought they needed multiple host computers. So Flinch might be chatting with a bot on your screen, and chotting with a different bot on someone else's screen.

It might be possible to have two chats on your screen if you're logged in more than once, but I've never tried it. *shrugs* If none of those applies, then I have no clue.

I had two bot chat windows up at once, without logging in more than once.
The first chat ended pretty quickly when the second chat begun though, but still.. He went on chatting with the two bots at the same time for about five minutes.

And now it's happening again. He's chatting with Kipper and Botulism. At the same time.

Maybe he's just feeling a bit social these days?

genn: do you like the Grateful Dead?
Julie Tinkerbell: The Grateful Dead is an awesome band started in the 60's. Do you know the song Truckin'? (successful response to keyphrase match)
genn: yes, do you know the song Truckin '?
Julie Tinkerbell: I love (gossipname). Not only did she not follow her "yes" seek, but she went to xgossip, then drew a blank gossipname.

A problem that I had before has resurfaced. Fizzy Schizoid's xintroduce routine consists of several statements that he's supposed to say in a row, regardless of how the other person responds. I thought I could achieve this with xnomatch seeks. Recently, he's been using these seeks properly when talking to bots, but not when talking to humans. He'll just go to some other keyphrase instead. I tried changing all the xnomatch's to "(*)", but this is having the same problem.

Ezzer, isn't xgossip random, overruling seeks and other key phrases? It's the reason I always put it low

lunar22- yes, and same here.
It was probably a coincidence that xgossip was chosen, but it was odd that it came up with an empty (gossipname).
