Hi,

that's nice to know Fred. I developed a theory about the Who, and it
recurs from time to time. I think he and several others of our
acquaintance may be Turing Tests. Some postgraduate somewhere is doing
research into artificial intelligence and trying it out by subscribing
it to discussion forums. Just as "Eliza" was taken seriously as a
shrink back in the 60s or 70s, so Who and its avatars. are taken seriously
by the guinea pig subscribers.
