Didn't participate because I don't frequent /a very often at all, and I'm once again reminded why.
I can't believe people are still waving around the old 'emotionless robot' canard with such seriousness. Whatever you think of her 'inventor', even he has clearned named the main part of the 'rei experience' as sadness; About being alone (as the series itself tells us), and about the depressing situation of knowing you're a completely replacable piece of organic zechnology crafted for a specific purpose - the latter bein a pretty 'deep/abstract' kind of sadness that requires a certain degree of reflection and insight.
