Nice.  I used to use flood protection, but had disabled it because it
caused some problems that I don't remember.  (IIRC, erbot used its own
flood protection instead.)

Once you've spent a few weeks with your new bot, we/I/you can document
these instructions on the erbot install page on emacswiki, and also in
the sample .emacs (mybot?) for erbot..
