- Okay! Let me get this straight.
- 1) ALL bots, even nickserv and noteserv and the alike, have the potential of
- flooding the net and should be removed.
- 2) Everyone using IRCii has the potential of flooding the channel and should
- not IRC.
- 3) Everyone having the posibility of redirecting inputs and outputs of irc
- to a programme, perhaps a infinite.output.programme | irc, which again
- uses irc through a unix account has got the potential to flood the
- channel and should not IRC.
- 4) There are a lot of silly discussions on IRC, and some channel go very
- silent sometimes. Some people just login and don't say a word for half
- an hour. This is a waste of bandwidth and these people should therefore
- not IRC.
- 5) There are a lot of silly discussions going on on the newsgroups. Groups
- like *jokes* and *silly* should be removed.
- 6) Silly comments are a waste of bandwidth and should be removed.
- 7) Disclaimers take up a lot of space and wastes bandwidth. They should be
- removed.
- 8) Unix accounts have the potential to flood the net. They should be removed.

- Are we getting anywhere with this? I suppose we're left with the FTPing, but
- these can be taken over by sending eachother disks through the post. And what
- have we got left? Email perhaps? But you can flood the net with you email
- account, too. Perhaps we should just remove the net so that it can't be
- flooded. Voila! All problems have been solved.
-
- GET REAL!
