This bot is based upon infobot-0.44.2 by kevin lenzo. the basis of infobot is still there but _many_ wild features have been added. along the way, a couple of typos were spotted in the original infobot source and fixed in this version. without infobot, there would be no blootbot so all thanks to kevin for bringing infobot in the first place. an irc infobot is a bot that provides information to irc users.
