Hutch, you missed the point of the conversation between Questor and the
guard.  The point is that it was a very poor conversation as Questor
knew not how to converse properly, but thru his interaction, rapidly
learned.  By the time he (it) left, Questor had learned and was using
tone inflections, pauses, pronouns.  Remember (if only I can...) that a
good part of his programming was never completed, one can assume
conversational interaction was a part of the missing tapes.  I believe
Gene Roddenberry in an interview brought this point out, hence I became
aware of its role, not being a big Questor fan myself.

Cheers, Gern
