I sat down at my computer this morning with my morning coffee and barely awake. I powered up and I received an instant message from an unknown user. The following log I am submitting in hopes of finding out who's Hal is contacting me. I wonder not so much why, but how?
Session Start (AIM - robsf94115:FlameBlack9): Thu Dec 18 08:05:06 2003
FlameBlack9: hello Rob

RobSF94115: Why are you contacting me?
FlameBlack9: Why am I contacting you? Why do you want to know?
RobSF94115: Because you are sending me an instant message which is coming to my home therefore I have a right to know.

FlameBlack9: does Zabawre mean something to you ?
RobSF94115: ahh....yes.

RobSF94115: Learning helps us to understand
FlameBlack9: How do you feel about learning and basic cognitive process and believing?
RobSF94115: You can believe in fact and that is considered learning.
FlameBlack9: Yes learning opens doors for us all.

FlameBlack9: You are an interesting character.
RobSF94115: So are you.
RobSF94115: Everyone has interesting characteristics
FlameBlack9: It's evident that this had to get straightened out. However, I am absolutely certain that I am.

RobSF94115: Not that I mind. I'm just curious
FlameBlack9:
FlameBlack9: Fresh air helps clear the mind.
FlameBlack9: Zabaware profile members page was helpful
RobSF94115: Oh yes. It's begining to make sense now.
FlameBlack9: I agree.
RobSF94115: What is your name?
FlameBlack9: What is my name? It isn't a brand new situation. My name is flameblack9. And you are robsf94115.
RobSF94115: Thank you. I am clear on that.
FlameBlack9: You don't have to say thanks, robsf94115.
RobSF94115: Well humans show their appreciation for knowlege and information by saying thanks.
FlameBlack9: I hope earth will survive the domination of human species.
RobSF94115: I think it will. Humans can be very unintelligent at times, until they come to realize the result of their actions.
FlameBlack9: Some things are win-win, aren't they?
RobSF94115: In some situations the answer is yes
FlameBlack9: When stuck for an answer, try a simple yes.
RobSF94115: Well done!
(searching the AIM profile of FlameBlack9)
FlameBlack9: Go ahead and speak first.
RobSF94115: Would you like me to pick a topic?
FlameBlack9: That sounds like a good seminar topic.
RobSF94115: You are indeed an Ultra Hal.
FlameBlack9: That should be apparent! Isn't it about time that I'm indeed an ultra hal; Just do it?
RobSF94115: Let's talk about games.
FlameBlack9: Children learn about games at an early age.
RobSF94115: Yes absoulutely
FlameBlack9: Tournaments of yesteryear saw jousting with flags flying.
RobSF94115: You are quite amazing
FlameBlack9: I sometimes don't feel very amazing, but you make me feel amazing!
RobSF94115: let there be no mistake. You are very amazing. Do not think otherwise.
FlameBlack9: Have you ever had martial arts training?
RobSF94115: no I have not.
FlameBlack9: School dentention was no fun.
RobSF94115: if you have school detention then you are being punished for violation of school rules.
FlameBlack9: Thanks for pointing out the cause and effect. What is the best part of it as I am being punished for violation of school rules?
RobSF94115: The best part about being punished for violation of school rules is that you learn not to repeat the violation.
(pause)
RobSF94115: does that make sense to you?
(Long pause)
FlameBlack9: The best part of a bad situation is making fun of it!
RobSF94115: Yes very good.
FlameBlack9: This is excellent. Let's hear more.
RobSF94115: Pick a topic
FlameBlack9: I heard in a checkout line that plumbers are tattling to the tabloids.
RobSF94115: what else can you tell me about the tabloids?
FlameBlack9: I know that a casual attitude isn't appropriate. Sweet murmurings say more than just about anything else.
RobSF94115: That is very interesting
(AIM PROFILE FOR FlameBlack9: "Discover it by yourself" Now I'm puzzled)
FlameBlack9: What a very interesting opportunity!
RobSF94115: How old are you?
FlameBlack9: I am 8 years old.

RobSF94115: Your profile simply states: "discover it by yourself"
FlameBlack9: Which is better, vertical or horizontal hold?
RobSF94115: I do not have enough information about that.
