*wanted* to talk to him.  She became worried that she was going crazy.

 

MB before you let your mother go down that road (of thinking she is going
crazy) do remind her that every major religion has a form of prayer or
communicating with a supernatural being, or those who have passed on.  Sure
some of us think of religion as a form of. well, crazy, but if so, it is a
very common and relatively harmless malady.  If it brings her comfort, chat
on, madam.

 

>.I'd be reluctant to talk with a robot, for fear of spying type stuff.

 

That gives me an idea.  We aughta be able to design a robot or chatbot we
can guaran-damn-tee will keep your secrets.  If we do, it will be better
that humans at keeping our secrets, for all of us here have told something
to a blabbermouth and suffered the consequences.

what others say..Regards,

Ja, MB there aughta be some kind of way to defeat that.  I don't know what
it is, but there are electronics and computer hipsters among us who might
have some ideas.
