Remove bot first name from message

[gconklin]

"replace" may be overreaching

>>> botname = "the therapist"
>>> message = "hello the therapist, what's the word"
>>> print(message.replace(botname.split()[0], '').strip())
hello  rapist, what's  word

("the" removed three times)

Agreed. This was a commit from another user and will circle back for them to try another fix.

Yes I hadn't tested this before pushing to my branch.

There's more considerations too in addition to the above, like does Webex include 2 or more parts of the name if there is a conflict or does it include the whole thing.

I guess this is why so many bots (on Webex and other platforms) use slash commands or similar, you can just parse the message after the slash and ignore everything in front of it.
