Hi Tam,

This seems a little off-topic for AI-Ethics.  Religious and other
debates seem popular though, and of course the occasional ethical
question, so who knows?

For what it's worth, I apologize for being less than rueful just in case
one of my bots is the bot of your dreams. The robitron list has a
history of pissing people off and I've been less than rueful about it
for some time now.

Is Dr. Hamill a member of the AI Ethics committee?

Robby.

PS I read Schneier last week - a very insightful and well written book.
I recommend it to anyone who runs a web server. (Secrets & Lies: digital
security in a networked world) Thanks!
