 INTRODUCTION

-       This bot is based upon infobot-0.44.2 by kevin lenzo
-<lenzo@cs.cmu.edu>. The basis of infobot is still there but _many_ wild
-features have been added. Along the way, a couple of typos were spotted
-in the original infobot source and fixed in this version. Without infobot,
-there would be no blootbot so all thanks to kevin for bringing infobot in
-the first place.
