This is a hack. I am just pushing the processing off into a goroutine so
that we can return as quickly as possible from a non-event as far as the
bot's interaction with users is concerned. This is potentially harmful
if we have too many goroutines blocked writing babblers (hopefully
sqlite is configured to be thread-safe). But if we have a bunch of
babblers writing off to disk, it's no worse than blocking for each
one sequentially, I guess.
