                   that. It's just to show how the lamb is behaving.

IRC has nothing to do with this. ircII has. Learn a bit of the basics of
IRC before creating a bot.

It's sad when newborn ircers want to run their own bots like that...

You have been first time seem on IRC:
Thu Sep 24 20:44:41 1992 (  0:01:28): gard@158.38.66.43 (flipper.pvv.unit.no)
Today's date is: Tue Nov 10 13:40:24 MET 1992
Not bad, realy not bad. It's sad to know that this person can destroy the
use of a service for a lot of users:

    TOTAL INFORMATION (Norway september 1992.)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Total served time:              162 ds + 19:50:01
    Number of sessions:            6474
    Number of different domains:     27
    Number of different users:      371
    Number of different machines:   331

I do hope you are proud when that happens.

Another more important point is from the file 
aun.uninett.no:uninett/uninett.regler. (For those who don't know, UNINett
is the Norwegian part or Internet).

4.0 Acceptable Use Policy

    (7) Use should be consistent with guiding ethical statements and
        accepted community standards, such as

      - Malicious use is not acceptable.
      - Use of the network in a manner that precludes or significantly 
        hampers the use by others should not be allowed.
      - Operational procedures should be followed.

How to enforce the rules from uninett is much up to the various service
providers. The Norwegian EBIC members (every server admin) has agreed to
certain Operation procedures on their servers. This procedure is clearly
stated in the MOTD. So before you began your crusade towards the org called
Say NO to unattended bots (SNTUB) you should have asked some information 
from  the people who know how this game works.

On the wery best, your school may loose it's network acess. The net is not
a right, but a service.

You may be a graduate in 3 years time, by then I'll still be around and
running IRC in Norway. In the meantime, I will never let one person destroy
the service for the 90 - 110 regular users of IRC in Norway.

(Say NO to unattended bots)

PS: In september this year, I do wonder how much of 24 logins over 1 day 
    (24 hours), 3 hours, 26 minutes and 10 seconds that YOU where actualy 
    on ? (Remeber that you first signes on on the 24th).
