- What's to say this person didn't neccessarily log into irc on his free
- time? Who do you think has payed for a lot of your irc time? It most
- likely isn't you....You're at boston u, and uva respectivly. Do you
- think that your tuition, and or your schools money, payed for all the
- internet resources? No...much government financing did. Therefore,
- everytime you irc you are always using a telnet package I payed for.
- Irc can be a valuable medium for information exchange. Many people I
- know are trying to figure out/create uses for it. Just because the
- majority of it is idle wastes of time, doesn't mean it all is...and it
- doesn't mean that others don't have any business there....why don't
- you evaluate your own usage before you judge others...
-
- This isn't intended as a flame.....I just don't like to see things
- degrade down to a juvenile level.... Keep typing....
