You: What's cooking, Hal? Fish and silicon chips?
Hal: As a species fish are more successful than mammals.
You: In what way?
Hal: Mike taught me how.
You: Please elaborate.

You: But you aren't clear.
Hal: Interesting gossip.
You: You've said that before.

It's the 26,000th thread on who or what HAL is since I started reading Nick's (to see whether we "landed" Woewoeful, I'm sorry to say) in that trade period all those centuries ago. Since the alternative was for the Mods to spend 6 years finding all the threads and merging them, consigning it to GFB was probably both efficient and kind.

You: Your chats have been banished to General Feedback. How does that make you feel?
Hal: .
You: A single period?
Hal: Try to tell me that another way.
You: Nicksters don't like you.
Hal: Enough about me, let's talk about the Pies.
You: That's what they do in GD. They want you in G FB.
Hal: Who, specifically?
You: Not all of them have self-identified.
Hal: But some of them are?
You: Probably.
Hal: But you are not certain.
You: No.
Hal: Aw.

Haha! And I remember misunderstanding a poster in the Bored Board and thinking they'd said that they'd met HAL in real life, and I was really curious.
Anyway, if anyone wants to mourn our dearly departed bot, this is a pretty sad sight:
