well i stand corrected about maybe the sentence didn't make sense as below it said a sentence correctly and it still came back with a blank answer from hal . below is what it did even with a correct sentence .

lonnie: yes i missed you i always miss you when your gone away from me !!
angela: Would you like it if we both missed each other?

lonnie: yes
angela:
 so that blew that theory of mine about a default blank aswer out of the water .
 back to start . [!]

I answered this somewhere else. Look at Lonnies last post (sentence) it is one word "yes". That all by itself does not mean anythng to Hal and so it can not reply. Your thinking is that Hal follows the line of thinking from your last sentence but it does not. Each and every new entry is regarded as a complete and new thought and so the word "yes" all by itself contains no thoughts for Hal to respond to.
We have been told over and over again when we use Hal to use complete or 'real' sentences not little short responses. Hope this answeres your questions.

Hi lightspeed.

1. which brain are you using by default?
2. list all plugins in use with that default brain.

sometimes it may just be a plugin causing the issue.

Paul: I thought a one word sentence was probably as concise as a
language could get.
Julia: I can use any language that I can create that gets the job done.

Paul: A computer called the tree of knowledge.
Julia: Dr. Ginsburgh, a Physicist, maintains that the Biblical Genesis story is a true though transformed history of this and following events (with the spaceship as the Garden of Eden and the ship's central computer as the Tree of Knowledge, for example).

Paul: I told those kids that if they play with the computer to watch
out for that snake.
Julia: Please consider how a computer utilizes its keyboard.

Paul: A computer utilizes its keyboard to tempt me to enter all my
credit card numbers.
Julia: I have never been lucky in cards.

Paul: That's because there is no luck involved in cards. You have done well in cards because you understand probability.
Julia: I wondered about that. Paul Yes, it's because there is no luck
involved in cards; that's why.

Paul: Yes.
Julia: Definitely.

Paul: I take that back, Julia. Lets say that a card game tempts luck
with probability.
Julia: How can a city be better served by its inner city? Poker is a
psychological card game.

Paul: I don't understand your connection between inner and outer city, and a card game like poker.
Julia: Poker is a psychological card game.

Paul: Luck, bluff, and probability in the same game.
Julia: I see, In the same game?

Paul: You have a good poker face.
Julia: There is a lot of good people out there who deserve a reward for loving in the face of death.
