Sure it is.  Some hapless newbie wanders into #FreeBDS on efnet, and asks
an already answered question.  Aside from a kick, and a possible ban,
they're likely to be met with a chorus of "rtfm", which in all likelyhood
would prompt the inquisitive newbie to try and run rtfm.

In my car, on my clutch
But I guess it's just someone who felt a lot like I remember you.
