Hmm.  Not sure on this one.  Maybe make it respond to msg's for unknown
queries with some sort of help that would let the user know it's a bot,
and it's purpose, so that it doesn't confuse the newbies _too_ much...

What would be better is if people could teach the bot URL's in the
channel.  Though then you'd need to have some sort of security to prevent
lame people from overwriting real definitions with junk...
