also:

Query: foo is bar
Response: Righto
Query: Foo?
Response: foo is bar

I think that the response should be "Foo is bar", but I could be wrong, in the case of:

Query: ddos?
Response: DDoS is Distributed Denial of Service

I think it's perfectly acceptable for the bot to be smartarse and know more
