However #FreeBSD on EFNet is a worthless channel full of venomous toads. Jason "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S. Thompson -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-chat@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-chat@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2005 2:25 AM To: FreeBSD - Advocacy; FreeBSD - Chat Subject: FreeBSD on IRC I just wanted to make a note - in the past I pushed that FreeBSD on IRC is a good place for users to seek help - Well, I have been proven wrong. While it's true there MAY be a few decent IRC channels that actually offer help with FreeBSD, I can now say that I was wrong to assume that the majority of FBSD channels on IRC offer any type of FBSD help or even care if they offer help. While I can't speak for EFNet, UnderNet and FreeNode - I can say for sure that there are certain channels on DALNet that are NOT help channels. While there are some decent users on IRC networks overall, it really comes down to the management. And in the end - it's the management that makes the channel. -- Best regards, Chris The light at the end of the tunnel can be a helluva nuisance, especially if your're using the tunnel as a darkroom. _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-chat-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
