Hello Mr Steve
Glad that there is someone who is doing the same thing there :)
Your idea of 'cheating' ALICE was great. I just realized that actually
ALICE is not conscious, right? She is not truly 'understanding' what
she said. So it doesn't matter if the warning message sent while she
doesn't notice it. The more important thing here is: the user received
the warning message.
Mr Gary's idea for sending message to the bot on periodic time is also
interesting. But i think it would add a little load to the system.
Especially if the period is short.
That's just my opinion :)
Regards,
Ariyo
