IRC is a highly responsive form of peer help and I hardly think that I've missed the point at all. You raised a specific objection to EFNET (and read your mail again if you have any doubts), you made it sound as if this was somehow a FreeBSD specific problem without making the relevant observation that #linux was no better. As to whether or not private channels can be formed with different objectives in mind, that would be an entirely separate thread and I didn't see anything in your original message which led me to believe that you had any broader objectives in mind - if you wanted to start a more productive freepeople.org, or whatever, why didn't you just SAY SO and not engage in wholly irrelevant and misleading accusations about EFNET? Sorry, but the lack of substance in your postings so far leads me to no other conclusion than the fact that you simply wanted to vent on us. That's too bad, as it accomplishes nothing. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
