"encouraging him[WildX] to revert to more common English sentence/idea formations."
I'll get there.
Perhaps I swung the pendulum too far with the cryptic stuff, but it seems to have the desired effect. Let's see how it goes.
On the other hand, the structure that I used would not be unfamilar to a programmer. I used a fairly standard object oriented format for defining variables and common symbols for questions(?). Also "If...Then" statements are common to every progrmaing language. If he is expressing himself as a machine, why not talk to him like one.
As a side note, I thought of doing this at about 3AM in the morning and tossed and turned in bed thinking about it, woke up at 7:00 and sent the message. Don't ask me why.
