- Well, most of the time, sometimes though I think that there should
- be a mode #channel +-a nick!user@host that would override +b, so
- that we could have +b *!*@*, +a *!*@*.fi (+ a for the few people
- outside Finland who speak finnish and frequent #42). That would
- leave us with only one problem, netsplits, but Arska (the bot)
- should be able to take care of that problem (even better than now).
-
- Ok, some people might ask why we don't use +i ... well, it's
- extra work for all finns who want to join #42, and newcomers
- wouldn't know how to ask for an invite. The reason for our
- *!*@*.edu etc. bans are lamoids who join and part the channel
- randomly, sometimes causing floods.

- No, it could be a blessing actually ... less topic-wars, less
- channel-jumping with lame bots.
