[pandorabots-general] An idea...

[Stanley E. Honour]

	A variable should be assigned to each user, the method varies
with the programming language you are using, i.e. a 'stack'.  'callback'
behavior could be anything you want.   You could for instance track who
is most responsive and assign priority based on a matrix of your design.

One question about this. I am not a programmer, just a curious person.
I use my bot in an IRC channel as a conversation stimulator.
Question:
If the bot is talking to one person "one", then someone else "two"
enters the conversation, and one goes AFK, if two continues, would the
bot then attempt to call One back into the conversation, or would the
bot be content with two?
