Dr. Wallace,

I "work" with some people involved with cloning ALICE for the masses to use 
as a tool or a toy (Or whatever else they would like to use it for), And we 
have recently removed your name(and address)from all the ALICEs we roll out, 
do to the ethical concerns you mentioned. So on at least one front you 
already have done something to add some distance between yourself and the 
ALICE clones...I know its not much, but we do make alot of bots...Im sorry I 
cant offer any useful advice about the "other" bots online....

An increasing number of copies of ALICE's brain are chatting in more and
more niches of cyberspace.  Many people change little if any of the AIML
content.  In particular, when asked for their email address, these bots give
out MY email address.

Is there anything I can do to indemnify myself in the event that one of
these bots does something or says something I find objectionable?

Rich
