If I'm not mistaken, there have been just as many if not more bugs in mIRC
than there have been in the unix ports (Xchat for instance).  Correct me if
I'm mistaken.

		Just because they're using mIRC, doesn't mean that they aren't unix/cisco
tech geeks.
		Ever consider that they might have run Windows on their workstations at
work?  And even so
		using the clients that have been ported to Windows might be an even worse
idea because of bugs
		in the ported clients.  It would generally be a good idea to think about
what you're typing to thousands
		of people before you actually send it. dolt.

		and Thank You!

If you folks was using mirc, then yer not the unix/cisco tech weenies you
think you are.  For there are a number of unix based irc clients available
that do not have as much bloat as mirc, which requires windows to run.


Thanks,
