[ mod's note: our Staff Roboticist, Robby Glen Garner, notes
that "We might need to shop this around the 'living' as well..."
as opposed to just having this message linger on Usenet.
btw, Robby is one of the finalists competing in this year's
Loebner Prize, and we wish him (and his bots) all the best!
