Nomen Nescio is the name given to all posters through one of
the remailers.


As in "The Odyssey"... "Who is hurting you?" "Noman is hurting me."


It's not 'incompetently written advertising'... well, I guess it is,
since I'm no ad exec, but it's true.
Roomba got lost all the time because the algorithms it used
for navigating weren't up to snuff. If the room is too big or too
'complicated', Roomba gets confused. Then it either skipped
patches of floor, stopped working completely, or started going
over the same patch of floor repeatedly. Plus, it tended to get
stuck a lot, get into places it couldn't back out of.


Thanks for the clarifications.

We were obviously using "got lost" in different senses.
