rudybot quotes ACTION methods sometimes

[ijp]

<ijp> rudybot: remember the dark days of internet usage: before firefox
      panorama?
<rudybot> ijp: ACTION waits for someone to write a "firefox panorama" for
          emacs

I see two strategies for fixing this:

1. no quoting ACTIONs
2. having rudybot actually reply with an ACTION

My hunch is that the code itself is fine, although it used to be buggy in that it would fail to trim off the word ACTION before inserting into the database. If I'm right, the only thing that needs to be done is for me to delete the bugaceous database entries.

after testing, and looking at the code, I think you are right. closing.

The db is indeed full of bogus entries that need to be cleaned out:

    select * from log where text like '_ACTION %';

shows many many many of 'em. This probably doesn't warrant reopening this bug, but it feels wrong.
