Greg, I live in the Real World. I only apply here what I know of my own experience-- not always as successfully as in 3D, because I am still learning the mediuum, but the medium is still new to me, so who knows?

I pick who to deal with pretty carefully too. It takes a commitment. Some people look like shit-stirrers but are actually after something else. Oh I've been wrong a time or two, and cut bait, so to speak, but not often.

What I saw in the brief time I spent in the early Bushwacked series was that if expected to actually THINK, MAV could converse. Not nicely, but converse. Feel free to write if you want to see this more clearly.
