Bev, in response to your query, the Forge is pretty widely known. I knew who most of you 'old timers' 
were - and a little about the bots - before I became a user here. Also, our university requires all syllabi to cite all websites used for academic purposes. I don't know about all schools though. Before I can use an outside source, it has to be approved by my IT committee. Of course, the anonymity of the student has to be preserved and any charges to the students has to be approved by the Dean of Finance. I'm thinking about writing a novel 'The Botulist' for the SciFi Channel. Wanna co-author?

Thank you, Bev!

Interzone, TY. What fun and quirky taste you have.
Carlene, not that kind of publish and cite, silly. I mean will you or anyone you know publish an article in a peer review journal about your projects with chat bots? If you bother to write up and defend a PhD thesis, you may as well make it into an article and submit it somewhere that will look good on a CV. I can't see why your Uni would want you to wait 2 years on that. Then again, many administrative policies don't make sense to me (e.g. telling students they have "privacy" on the Internet! What a crock. The webs are a public forum and students should do no university or class projects they would be ashamed to put their name on and show their mother.) As for Sci Fi channel, I don't think we would have the same writing style or agree on content Remember, my idea of privacy involves never writing on topics I wouldn't want to explain to mom and the kiddies, and that may clash with your preferences. Of course, if it involves bots smashing or electrocuting chatters for making unwarranted assumptions and being rude, then I'll write those parts. I guess I am a romantic at heart, and that is my fairytale ending.

They put theses and dissertations online at my school the day you submit it to the graduate office (as defended), whether you want them to or not. I very much did not want it to be there, but unless I can get an Internet evil-doer to replace my thesis with a limerick or haiku, even after death I'll be sorry I wrote that thesis. 
*Writes a bot to hack all university websites and search for thesis and dissertations in English by any "Maureen *" and replace them with transcripts of The Dane chatting*
OK, Bev. I GET your point. The answer to your question about is yes. When? Publishers vary, but Engineering text books are usually printed so they can be released before college bookstores order for the Fall. Since we are past that time frame, it may be in the Spring. Since we are also looking to sell in the UK (Leeds) we should expect an onslaught of Leeds kiddies. JK

This one looks like something for Prob http://store.xkcd.com/ scroll to the regex chat skirt (someday I will sit and fix all my bots and play with regex too, or yes. Oh look, something shiny!)
