The K (not the Q) program was:
e:{$[(#b)=i:(|/'b:(w@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(w:(`$" "\:x@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in".?"))in`)in\:/:A)?1b;E@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
" "~n:c@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(c:{x@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
i)ss/:N;c
.q.ssr[c;n;" "/:$(),P'(w[k],p:1_'(0,1+k:b[i]?1b)_`,w)"I"$n]]}
I don't see "you", "your", "my", "myself", "yourself", etc.
So how can it change "your" to "my"?
I was talking about the K program; you're talking about the Q program.

I was talking about the K program; you're talking about the Q program.

So this will change "your" to "my". Will it, like the Ruby program,
change "my" to "your"?

That has the defect of possibly repeating the same response
immediately instead of cycling through all of the responses
before repeating.
