People might indeed worry about having what they say in
the CB logged. That, in my opinion, is a good thing. The
fact is, what you say in the Chatterbox might be logged
even now; you don't know. If the presence of a bot served
to remind you of this, that'd be a good thing in my book.
Naturally, a bot should not be a means of poorly
replicating existing services. I do think that
there's considerable opportunity to make this a unique
resource. Since the presence of a bot would not entail
altering the Monastery itself in any way, we'd have plenty
of latitude to discover good uses for it empirically,
without screwing anything up.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
