I interpreted this thread as stating that NO messages should be sent to
resources with negative priorities. That's the idea I got from what JD
Conley stated about what was said at the interop event: clients should
not be able to send messages to resources with negative priorities.

Even your own comments tended towards that interpretation: a normal
style bot...should have its own identity.

I wanted to go on the record with a use case that would use a resource,
have negative priority, and require actual messages get sent to it. I
didn't want to see something dumb get mandated like "clients should not
be able to send messages to resources with negative priorities".
