That's the only issue I see here. Talking about this being our
business when it's clearly not is simply a non-sequitur as far as I'm
concerned.

> IRC: While #freebsd channels exist, the FreeBSD project does not
Excellent. Committed with just a few tweaks, so it now says:
While #freebsd channels exist on various IRC networks, the FreeBSD
project does not control them or endorse IRC as a support medium.
You may be ignored, insulted or kicked out if you ask questions on
any channel in IRC, though you may have slightly better luck
in channels named #freebsdhelp where such exist. If you want
to try these or any other channels on IRC, it is nonetheless
at your own risk and any complaints about conduct on those channels
should not be directed to the FreeBSD project. See also
<a href="&base/FAQ/preface.html#AEN210">the FAQ entry</a> for
more information.
