yes, and i would like 2

i recently downloaded Yahoo! instant messenger, so that i could talk to a friend of mine online that was previously impossible. they never got on. so, i struck up a conversation with my good pal YahooHelper, and we had ourselves a nice little conversation. tune in:

jon's conversation with YahooHelper:
the_tubby_boy: you are stupid
YahooHelper: Hi the_tubby_boy, I am an automated robot and I'm here to help you get familar with Yahoo! Messenger. Type some text in the window below and click 'SEND' to talk to me.
the_tubby_boy: if you respond promptly, you will win a nugget
YahooHelper: Great, now we're talking! the_tubby_boy, did you know that Yahoo! Messenger allows you to keep track of all your friends and see when they are online? If your friend does not have messenger yet, click on the 'FRIENDS' button and select Invite a friend to get Messenger. If your friend already has a Yahoo! ID, just click the 'ADD' button and you will see a smiley face next to their name when they are online. Type below and click 'SEND' to continue.
the_tubby_boy: you win
YahooHelper: Once your friends have Yahoo! Messenger running, there are a lot of things you can do with them. Try sending them an Instant Message. Just double-click their name to send them an Instant Message. It's faster than email and cheaper than a phone call! We're Instant Messaging each other right now! Keep talking and I'll tell you more.
the_tubby_boy: yes, tell me more
YahooHelper: If you want to talk to several people at once, you can create your own Instant Chat Room. Just click on the 'MESSENGER' menu item and the select Start a Conference. To have an even richer experience, try talking live with your friends using Messenger. It's just like a phone call except free! All you need is a computer microphone and speakers. Try clicking on the 'MESSENGER' menu item and then select Start a Voice Chat. Keep talking and I'll tell you more.
the_tubby_boy: i am a member of the Sicilian Mafia
YahooHelper: Waiting for your friends to sign up? Use Yahoo! Messenger to see if you have new Yahoo! Mail. Get an account at: http://mail.yahoo.com. You can also use Messenger to keep track of your favorite stocks, news and more! Click on the tabs near the bottom of the Messenger application to see what else Messenger can do for you. You know what to do to keep talking...
the_tubby_boy: you, sir, have a length of rope and a concrete block waiting on you
YahooHelper: We have more help for you if you need it. Click on the 'HELP' menu item and then 'YAHOO! MESSENGER HELP' to see our full help area. To get more tips, type /help while you are talking with me and we have some basic online instructions for you.
the_tubby_boy: would you like to die?YahooHelper: Well the_tubby_boy, it was great talking to you! Have fun!
the_tubby_boy: i thought so
YahooHelper: Hi the_tubby_boy, I am an automated robot and I'm here to help you get familar with Yahoo! Messenger. Type some text in the window below and click 'SEND' to talk to me.
the_tubby_boy: Hi YahooHelper, I am an automated robot and I'm here to help you get familar with Yahoo! Messenger. Type some text in the window below and click 'SEND' to talk to me.
YahooHelper: Hi there the_tubby_boy! I'm a bot here to help you. To get help on a topic send a message of the form "/help topic" (e.g., /help friend) Where topic is one of the following -friend add group online message profile status alerts
----as you can see, YahooHelper is not a real person
