I don't think anything else but the "base personality" should be in

third parties.

   "What is this whining noise?  Why won't it go away?  Oh, it you
Barbie.  We need to find a news server willing to put up with the the
noise, so you won't bother me anymore.  Now find the papers you got
from the Internet provider you signed up with.  Can you do that?  Good
girl.  Now what name does it specify for \"news server\"?  Or NNTP
host?")
