- Well those who don't know about it probably don't read alt.irc
- And if they do, they still don't know what it does...

- Mostly because when you have 2 servers at uiuc, and you /server to
- an outside server you're basically wasting resources...your own, and
- also the other server that you're servering too. It's in the people's
- best interest I suppose.
- I have seen some completely clueless people /servering all across the
- place because they think that different servers have different people
- to talk to...

- Not really...this is different. This is like your parents only
- giving you vegetables and never telling you that there
- is anything else to eat.
