haha, yes that.  But nice is so subjective, how do you code the
niceness filter into software agents?  I'm not sure it'll be possible
until the software agents themselves are optimally tuned to each
individual. (well, the operating KB for each user has acquired
sufficiently large training example space)

*I* don't even track this information very well.  Now the software
doing it for me has to be more aware than myself.  I'm not saying
that's impossible, but I certainly won't know how to audit it to know
when it's lying to me thanks to intentional exploitation.
