Quick note---couldn't resist the urge to tease:
It's the bots, man.  <grin>    <just kidding>

But other than Niall with his incredible naivete and struggle to gain language,
your bots are the only one's I can think of that have made me laugh out loud,
sometimes crying with so much laughter--they are special.   And at the least
inspiring moments, the bots have been no worse than a typical AOL chatroom
conversation.  <smile>
