Hi Chip!
please elaborate, and do not 'boycott' without giving
some rationale or explaining the how and why ...
I don't see a reason for changing the irc network,
so please give me some hints ... or ask the community,
if the majority is for a change, we'll probably move
_again_ ... if you just wan't a broader audience, why
not 'reactivate' the bridge we had between oftc and
freenode?
TIA,
Herbert
