- What has this to do with alt.irc.recovery ? Or maybe it is here just to
- show how meaningless irc sessions can be. I personally don't understand
- what is so funny about word twisting. Maybe it is just that my native
- language is not English.
-
- Why was the article not x-posted to alt.irc.corruption.log.log.log ?
- Well, we can only guess. After all it was not a corrupt mean old
- log of someone who got mad at some others' words on irc.
-
- Ok, when I read those three quoted lines again and again, it is revealed
- to me that it might have a place in alt.irc.recovery -- it sounds
- sarcastic, ironic, and the poster seems to have realized how wasteful
- it was to waste that perfectly good evening making puns on irc.
