OK. Somebody tag Jeff and get into the ring with Wolfgang. I don't have
the energy for it.

I do, however, have a great idea for a 'bot. I'd call it the Wolfgang
Analog Nifty Neutralizing Bellyache Engine, or WANNABE. The programming
problem is pretty straightforward. You'd need a module to model Wolfgang's
syntax and style -- an off-the-shelf context-free-syntax parser/generator
would be adequate. You'd need a lexicon module --
basically a database of Wolfgangisms. There is an IMMENSE text of these
available in the ROFF archives. You'd need a cut-and-paste module with
access to the Google Usenet archive. You'd need an identity-generation
module for when Wolfgang finally gives up. That's about it.

One nice extra touch would be a module to notify subscribers of how to
update their kill files when a new identity is cloned.

You ever wonder how life might be different if you had ANY idea at all of
what you confess too?

Life is like a jar of jalapenos.
What you do today may burn your ass tomorrow.

You might not make it off the toilet tomorrow slick!

Right. Jotted it down in my notebook. So, anyway, you were going to tell
me what's next.

would regret the next day........but feels he probably has some redeeming
social value nevertheless.
