Well we only get stuff like that once in a blue moon so I don't see a
major problem. If it started being every day then yeah, I'd agree there
was a case for making changes.

Basically, as you can all probably see, Davy has written a chat bot typeof program. If you email him he'll send you a copy --- he says it's a bitover 1.5 MB and runs on XP.It's a bit hard to understand how it works, partly because (by his own
confession) he doesn't know much about AI and so doesn't know toproperly describe what he's doing.The machine translation is made considerably worse by the fact that he'snot writing in proper Italian --- he's using abbreviations for words, not
using standard vowel accents, punctuation, capitalisation etc...ShaneOn 7/26/06, Davy Bartoloni - Minware S.r.l.

SL4 uses the List Sniper technique.  Anyone can join, and if they don't 
seem suitable, they're removed.


The bane of mailing lists is well-intentioned but stupid people, and 
list moderators who can't bring themselves to say anything so impolite 
as Goodbye.
