i don't know how long ago you heard about this but it could easily have
been on my new synchronet installation... i saw that one of my returning
users had gotten in there when i popped in and tried to bring them to xnode
chat... they may say something if they like but i won't flip them about
it... it was kinda humorous, though...

going back further, i had done a lot of work adding an AI to my really old
IRC server... it was quite fun but training the thing was horrendous...
especially for technical support stuffs when it was originally designed for
general chit-chat... we eventually dropped it and moved on to other
things...
