- Now, I (being an *ex* csd ircop) find this *intensely* amusing.
- It's like IRC almost *means* something in the real world. Resumes? Get
- real. References? Do they want to make sure that the new op won't run
- around exploiting bugs to crash things? If so, then ckd ought to lose
- his op right now; I've *watched* him do that in the olden days.
-
- Relevant experience? *snort*
