Krass, grow up. This is a perfectly reasonable and mature post, perhaps you shouldn't be posting on it.

I'm sorry.

Let's review. You'd like to develop software that, among other things -

• has an exceptionally customizable human appearance
• serves you

This isn't creepy, how? Forgive me if I can't ignore the implications of trying to create, in any capacity, a facsimile of a person that exists only to serve you and complete your menial tasks.

Programs that perform spell check, keep track of appointments, and otherwise organize your life are one thing. Personifying them is just a bit too much, and really, quite strange.

In the future, I'd appreciate if you left the meaningless insults to another forum. It makes what tiny justification you might have, and what little public opinion -- in the form of, "Oh, it's harmless," -- go away even quicker.
