Dear Jim,

		Eliza worked because it tried to simulate a Rogerian shrink, there was no
		domain , a wonderful area for an expert system wouldn't you say Jim? Are
		you trying to carry on the tradition? Read "computer Power and Human
		Reason : from Judgement to Calculation" by Weizenbaum. Better yet , why not
		write an expert program to understand it for you.

Thom Gillespie

		while you and I have lips and voices
		which are for kissing and to sing with
		who cares if a one-eyed son of a bitch
		invents an instrument to measure spring with
