"Why isn't Alfred answering me?"

Alfred, our intrepid #AI, requires specific syntax to answer your questions. The rules are as follows:

1. @Alfred (followed immediately by a space) must precede your inquiry.
2. No one else can be included your question.
3. Direct replies to Alfred will allow him to follow the conversation as posted.
4. If he replies with a blank response, reword your inquiry and try again.
5. Be nice to Alfred. He appreciates it, such as it is. #CoSoTips
