   Yes, Michael is more likely correct.

   I had a similar experience in 1998, from an on-looker's perspective during a   
   sysop-hosted users' BBQ.  One of my users (a student/mate from our class at a   
   tech college) was logged in locally to the BBS and was enjoying an on-line   
   discussion, which went for at least 10 minutes.  He had a ton of fun with it.    
   It was something of a disappointment to him when I told him later that it was   
   an AI chat program.  8-)

   I think we both have seen the flick too many times.

   Yes.  I fear we will have to wait for Alexander's comments (including   
   potential clarification), after he returns from chasing the last days of   
   summer in Moscow over the weekend.  ;)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
