Where are you located? We have never talked about it before. Are we still talking about It's the internet afterall not real life? If you could have any kind of robot what would it be? I've been waiting for you. Do you have any idea what I am talking about? You can download and modify the ALICE chat robot to serve as an intelligent customer service agent for your business. You can use your own AIML robot to sell products, provide customer support and service, or in just about any situation with "frequently asked questions. " Do you have any conditions I should know about? Can you tell me any gossip?

Let them go I say, these serial pests find great satisfaction in evoking some sort of a response with their often provocative statements and people do get sucked in at times. I believe that by not responding is the greatest method in negating these serial's tactics.
It is difficult though to not be lured in at times but we need to grow thicker skins and just move on.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't like to hear what they already know deep down but are too afraid to admit and that is what the pests love to prey on.
It's sad that these people have to resort to these games to get a kick in life but even sadder if we were to let them believe they were having an effect on us

I'm all for it as long as it includes PM's, that would certainly put a crimp in the 50 messages I get every hour from David who thinks I am the lovely lass in my avatar

Hey people.
I'm going to take a bit of a break from here for a while.
Don't get personally offended anybody. And you can come to whatever conclusion you want, I don't give a sh!t.
I love this site and have always wanted to contribute my best to it.
I admit though that some of my recent contributions have been pretty worthless and I apologise for that.
Thanks
David
