But I'm afraid that's not enough for you to pass this course.  I suggest
you fill out all the apropriate forms, and then tear them up and fillout
the even more appropriate forms and them submit them to your local 
sperm bank.  This will clear things up.

I dont know why I still log on for), his State-of-the-art Automated

And I'd like to thank the people in Twilight_zone for answering my

Anyways....for the rest of you...keep up the good job..and I'll keep

Minor correction: In the US, while anyone is physically able to say such 
things, if these statements are made in such a manner as to provoke 
hostile reaction, our beloved Supreme Court has ruled that those statements
would then _NOT_ be protected under freedom of speech.

At least free speech is more in existence in the U.S. than it is in, say,
Canada....

you see the pattern ? it just becomes a habit to 'park' in a channel in between

  I do that constantly. When I am doing that, I see IRC as an
  additional service along with e-mail, news and other internet
  services. IRC is the most real-time of them, and I use it if I have
  some small immediate problem or matter to deal, something which I
  want to get an answer within minutes.

  The problem may be technical or I just might need to contact someone
  else fast. And, vice versa, I am on IRC to be contacted quickly (or
  to be quicly determined that I am not on my terminal if I don't
  reply within few seconds). I just have IRC session open while doing
  other things; just like some other people have incoming mail
  notified instantly, I have that and IRC.

  Of course, this is just one mode of IRC presense. Sometimes (though
  rarely) I am active too, talking and so on. It's just phases of
  presence... :-)

Because there.are.other.recovered.persons.as.well.

I just don't bother making a big fuzz out of it any more. IRC is
simply not that important, useful or significant part of my life. As
it seems to be for some people.

I even use it occasionally nowadays (again). There are times my
junkie-friends cannot be reached in any other way (which should tell
something to all of us).

Maybe I should be called born-again-IRCer then?

Greg, worry not. I've been online maybe half a dozen times this year,
10 minutes maximum. It is still very very very boring.. and I left
after finishing any unfinished business with them junkies.

Yah know.. you keep telling us how long you've been off of irc but how
much time do you actually devote to the discussion of, flaming of, and
thinking of irc?  You post as much as anyone on alt.irc.  I dunno,
sounds like you've gone from smoking crack to cigarettes to use a

You have two problems.

First, you followed up to a posting that someone had cross-posted to
alt.irc and alt.irc.recovery, which is a no-no and often leads to
inappropriate postings in alt.irc.recovery.

Second, you haven't stopped using IRC. That would solve this problem,
and probably many others in your life. It's never too late to quit.
