- Well not #twilight_ or any channel that I frequent. The problem is people
- join it and expect all sorts of things. There are no gaurantees with IRC
- or #twilight_zone. That a number of ops congregate together there is more
- a reflection of a few cluely people who can be found there.

- Well, I dunno about you, but a channel sorta looses its point when there
- are too many people (raving lunatics and other people putting on a show)
- anything you say is going to be hard to read and out of context unless you
- glue your eyes to the screen or like RSI (alternatively, you could have /on's
- setup to make conversation for you, just like a bot).
