Eliza Loves You - Rogerian psychotherapist

Recently I ported the ElizaLovesYou Gaim plugin to Pidgin. Click here to download the source. Most conversations with the Eliza bot are quite uninteresting. But the one I saw today needs special mention. It is one of the most interesting conversations I've seen with Eliza bot.Here goes the conversation. Scroll down to read the code.
