Bev: I have had that same thing happen to Immaculada too. I'm not sure but it probably is just a glitch. But xnomatch should (if you have it spelled right) keep the story going.

Are you saying my spelling and typing leave something to be desired :-O?

(yes, I love spellcheck--whoever built my brain didn't give me one).

Maybe your brain just needs an updated dictionary to check by!

xnomatch MEANS 'say this if you don't have a match for any keyphrase.' It doesn't mean 'say this no matter what.'

I thought xnomatch meant "if you don't have a match for any other seeks".

Does (*) as a seek work?

Yes. It's essential for making a bot respond properly to knock-knock jokes.

Good, because I have used it a lot and I haven't got round to testing it yet!

I think EM is right. It works in the seeks only.

im still having trouble with people getting "this bot does not want to talk with you anymore and it stops responding

Is that only with your own bot?
