- Being an op doesn't mean you're an expert on anything. However, being an op
- also doesn't entitle one to be an elitist shithead, and you get that on IRC
- a lot. I rarely even bother with #amiga anymore, cause there are a few of
- those floating around. I don't have any trouble myself, but some of their
- "policies" are stupid. For ex., if you use a nick with more caps than not,
- you're a prime target for being kickbanned. Stupid. People take some things
- way too seriously.

- That's true. Only thing you can do is show up enough to become a fixture, and
- you probably won't have any more problems.
