The training material would come from my sent mail folder, but it would train multiple personalities based on who the email was sent to.  For instance if one of you logs on to visit with my me-bot, it would use the material I posted specifically to ExI-chat.  It would train on that exclusively.  If it is someone else, one of my math guys or astronomy guys or libertarian guys or motorcycle guys, it would only respond from training based on stuff I sent to those forums.

So… an adaptive me-bot is a possible solution.
