I found a possible "bug"It im'd me the newest diggs for the hour, and my away message responded to it, and then it said that was an unknown command. I know it doesn't really count as a bug, but it seems like it should be able to detect that it's an automated response. Just thought I'd point it out!

if you want the bot to stop IMing you, it's as easy as unsubscribing to the feed. so figure out what the name of the feed that it is iming you with is. then type:unsubscribe whateverthatfeedisie. unsubscribe digg
