> The Cheese of Essex is a very young cheese, and still learning. Some replies may be confusing, repetitive or just plain wrong. The more conversations the cheese engages in, the smarter it will get.

> If your browser does not support iframes, or cannot load for any other reason, you can chat directly here.

> The Cheese of Essex processes and responds to one sentence at a time, and displays the response to the most recent four sentences. For smooth conversation, avoid multiple sentences in one statement.

> The Cheese of Essex (usually) remembers your previous conversations from one session to another. Other users should not see your recent text in their browser, they should see their own. Occasionally when a lot of people are talking at once, things get confused and you may see your conversation mixed with someone elses. If that happens, it is usually better to come back later as it gets a bit wierd.
