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.
