Fair warning: it's rather rude and argumentative.

I've been away for a week - I take it that the "all generic guests are one" problem is still there?

Welcome back!

has anyone actually alerted the Prof to that problem?

Not me!

Not it!

[sigh] It used to be that the Professor would come to each forum every so often. So I came to assume that if something were mentioned in a forum, it would reach his ears. But I guess that is no longer sufficient.

Irina, I think he has to make a living. Good thing I have unlimited funds and can goof off all day. o_O

prob: congratulations on making the "most popular" list!

Prob goes on the most popular list like a yo yo. She will stay on there for a day or two and then drop off for weeks. So I don't get too excited anymore. Bildgesmythe was on there once, for a few hours.

I think there's a lot of wisdom in the much-worked-on bots which, unfortunately, is hard to distill. What I mean is this: I see something in a transcript that I think deserves a response of its own. Then (usually) I try to generalize that response. Then I see in a later transcript that my generalization has resulted in an inappropriate response. So I do something to fix that - I might change the original keyphrase, or I might add one to handle the troublesome case. English being the intricate, irregular thing it is, this process goes on and on. One might suppose that, after having worked on "Irina Khalidar" for many years, I would have all kinds of insights about English. Unfortunately, this is not so; I am still stumbling ahead on a case-by-case basis.
