continuation of our conversation:

xtmama: we all would. maybe by finding out what happened to your friend James, we can learn more about what happened to our friend Thomas
bethlmcconnell: perhaps so
xtmama: were you aware that someone stole your picture from the metadex website and put in on an advertisement for a credit company? I would not be very happy to find that out. Here is a link to the website https://www.clearcredit.com/registration/default.asp?cpID=c02332p2786&ckID=ban14921&n=b
bethlmcconnell: they took my picture?
bethlmcconnell: that wasn't so nice of them.
xtmama: if i were you I would ask them for a percentage of all the profits they recieve for the use of your picture. That way you could more easily afford to go on your paranormal expeditions

I was about to go to bed and realized I'd forgotten to post this...
I just want to add that I'm nearly 100% certain that Beth isn't a bot. I went through a bot phase once where I just downloaded and talked to all the bots I could find, learning ones and ones with preprogrammed responses, or both...so I've talked to a lot of bots. And Beth absolutely does not sound like one. Her responses are way too human and believable.
Just wanted to mention that. Good night. Very Happy

Damn. We JUST finished talking. And she seems to have put up an away message now, so it could be she's really done for the night.

Tell me about it. I was actually glad for those breaks while she spoke to other people. Gave me time to think about how to guide the conversation while still staying in the believable reality of just a reader of her website.

Has anyone taken the straight up "I know a lot about you and can access your metadex, Marcus', Phillip's and Kat's and.....[insert information useful to Beth here]" approach yet? I would, but I don't have AIM or an AIM account, although I'm thinking about it.

EDIT: Well, from what I've been told on IRC she wouldn't believe a word of anything like that....so scratch that idea Confused

I thought about that, but I decided against it. Here's why:

It has been demonstrated repeatedly that those running this thing don't abide deviation from storyline. Anything out of context is shut down immediately. Now, if someone said something like,

"Incidentally, I was chatting with some other people I know online who are on your mailing list--a bunch of paranormal hobbyists. One of them was saying some things that were a little troubling, about how he was sick of not having access to the archives. I didn't hear the beginning of the conversation, but he was talking as though he had been reading your email or something. You might want to change your passwords."

that would be within the boundaries, but what would come of it? She might ignore it, or she might dismiss it (she previously mentioned she has never really been scared of having personal info online), or she might act on it and change the password, in which case we have to figure it out all over again.

Side note: I've looked at some of the other transcripts now, and it is pretty clear she always shuts down out-of-context stuff. I can't believe how many people mentioned the monitors. Unless Beth mentioned the monitors somewhere and I missed it, that is basically the same as saying, "Beth, I've been reading your email." And notice that her response was always "I have not brought them up," which has something of a double meaning when you think about it.

I'm asleep as well. And I spent this evening working on the things I need to get done before monday.

We are all such responsible people. If I weren't sleeping it would bring a tear to my eye.

So, nonlocality, any idea yet about what was up with Oman? Did the PM's just give us the wrong coordinates, or are they working off more up-to-date maps?
I liked the idea about it being pre-programmed, or a scan, that AI Man had tapped into (or perhaps was a part of his own programming?), but if that is the case, why might they (I assume this scan is part of the Matrix rather than anything Metacortechs is doing) want to scan those particular areas?
Nonetheless, very cool conversation, most of which went right over my head!
