NOTE
IRC can be a pretty nasty environment. Given the relative anonymity of its participants,
things can happen here that are not rated PG. Language can be crude, and folks can
be in chat rooms for every reason imaginable. You may want to watch out if someone
starts a conversation asking for your ???a/s/l??? (age, sex, location). Visit http://www.irc.
org/fun_docs/nocuss.html for a humorous take on the language issue, with a few tips
on IRC netiquette.
When in IRC, the Golden Rule applies very well.
