- Not shocked at all... have seen bigger numbers in Norway earlier on. BUT
- your behaviour may cause troubble for IRC in norway. That was my point.
- If IRC dissapear a lot of users will be quite happy with you.
- I'm still curious about who is going to be on top of the irc.usage for Oct. 92.

- On the groud that YOU do not listen to what the service providers and other
- tell you to do.
- Simple ? No... I though so...

- You are not alone destroying IRC nowadays... The SAMSOM project may be death

- I did kill him with an appropriate comment. But your bot may be so dumb that it
- does not record what happens to him ?
- Your bot did NOT follow the message in the MOTD. It got killed. Got any problems
- with this ?
- I enabled kill again just for the purpose of getting rid of 60 % of the
- norwegian irc population wich consist of bots. Stupid ones on top of this.
- If you get your bot to do something decent and worth to the general community
- I will welcome it. A bot that does something else than give you +o on your
- precious channel can still record messages from your friends. AND... still
- give you +o on your precious channel... wich the 900 other users of IRC don't
- give a damn shit about.
-
- Don't be so shortsighted... there are other people around. Not you and mrih
- alone.
