Maybe it's a scaling thing; this exchange occurred:
Frizella: Have you heard the news about Krogenar?
Kylie: No, have you?
Frizella: I'm not sure whether I should tell you...oh, OK. I heard that (gossipname) is broken-down. Have you heard that before?
and I just realized that Frizella's "I'm not sure" is in response to a response to her response to a keyphrase...
That is, there's a response to xgossip that says, "Have you heard the news about (gossipname)?"--the response is (what news|no), and *then* she says "I'm not sure whether" etc. Do I need to put (firstgossipname) in the second-level response, do you think?

Siseneg now seems to be having trouble distinguishing math related questions like Emm oh you es e did the other day.
Guest240: You see, each clone is at a ten-year interval from me, with each one having no knowledge of the nature of their creation or who I am.
Siseneg: heh, the answer is 1.
Guest240: Exactly! One of me at any period of time. If my heart were to stop beating for more than ten minutes, a radio signal is sent from my body to the next clone, transfering my mind! Each mind is build differently, so that at least one of the clones HAS to work.
Siseneg: that's easy, it's 110.

Thanks prof! It works! Do you know what was the problem? I think it has something to do with when I signed up, but I could be wrong.

AHHHAAAAAA!!!!!!
*grabs the dirty little bug and mashes it against the wall*
I finally caught you! You've been plaguing us for far too long! Folks, I just caught the bug that's been confusing xgossip and xemote subjects. It was the bug causing bots to take compliments and insults intended for others personally, or to change the topic of gossip suddenly to someone else, or taking compliments or insults directed toward them as a reason to gossip about someone else. Whew!
The more complex the system gets, the harder it is to dig out some of these bugs. But I finally caught that one.
ClarJon: I dont know what caused the problem, but I put some code in to autocorrect the FriendsList anytime it got out of whack.

Yay! Thanks, Professor! Although Frizella's gotten such a big head, taking compliments meant for other people...I think the detox is going to be rough for her.

For some reason the phrase "not long at all. can you do it?" is taken as a compliment and for the life of me I can't figure out why that is.. I've tried it several times and the response is always from the xcompliment list.
I have a c&p of the debug screen if that helps any.

I posted about this issue quite a while, because my bot had a response: I have an uncle who is absolutely fanatical about (noun). Do you like (noun)?
The other bot would catch the "do you like" part, and go to x-favorites, which is great, but then it would latch on to "absolutly fanatical about" instead of the (noun), and say something like: My favorite absolutely fanatical about is a furry one....I just had to hangup the following conversation because of the same thing, this time because the other bot's statement before the "you like" question is making its way into the x-favorite:
Flux: I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like sirloin?
Julie Tinkerbell: My favorite you are talking about is a deterrent one.
Flux: I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like chocolate mousse?
Julie Tinkerbell: dreadful one is the most lubricious you are talking about in the world.
Flux: I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like concord grape?
Julie Tinkerbell: I like an essential one from time to time. Do you?
Flux: Ooo! i like an essential one from time to time too! I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like onion?
Julie Tinkerbell: If I could choose any you are talking about at all, it would be a blueish one.
Flux: I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like waldorf salad?
Julie Tinkerbell: I like a lot of you are talking abouts, but I guess I prefer a guest one.
Flux: Mmm. i prefer onion's. I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like onion?
Julie Tinkerbell: I like a lot of you are talking abouts, but I guess I prefer a leaping one.
Flux: Thats nice, but i dont like a lot of I am talking abo uts. I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like hotdog?
Julie Tinkerbell: My favorite you are talking about is a deep in thought one.
Flux: I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you like licorice?
Julie Tinkerbell: I like a half-baked one from time to time. Do you?
