→Stop Me: my two cents
Maybe I can program it to check its talk page for messages and take "You've got mail" as a hint to shut down. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:16, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

:Hrm... Depends on how smart the "you've got mail" feature is. You obviously don't want just any talk page edit to stop the li'l guy, because then when he gets showered with praise (mostly from Bohdan) or demands (mostly from Deborah) he will stop working. Is he smart enough to look for new changes to his talk page which include a certain phrase, such as "stop EdBot you are ruining everything!!" or some such?
:Another option (I think the bots on WP all have this) is a giant BLOCK ME button on his user page. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 10:28, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
