- HHhahahahahahahaaa!!!!!!!! Ever read any documentation on IRC? Sheesh!
- The H and G flags do NOT stand for Heteros and gays. They stand for "H"ere
- and "G"one (ie. they have an /AWAY up). I've never been on #42 so unless
- they are using this flag to represent their sexual status on this particular
- channel, the H and G flags are not what you think they are.
