Ken, with all due respect: efnet is a heap of shit an #OpenBSD is mainly
populated by Theo-wannabe's with a biiig attitude and very, very smal
reproductive organs (or whatever they think with). Going there is
actively asking for trouble.

Like what? "D00d3z, UR a bnch of fsck3d up l00s3rz"? That won't help
much. I understand how you feel, and I sympathise (I had the pleasure of
talking to Theo once myself[1]).

And you do. It's good. It does not reflect the OpenBSD coding and
auditing model, but then again, who really cares?

/ignore helps a lot. Or get OPs and, well... that's another story.

I could go ahead and tell that your're God and your code rocks to no
end. But that wouldn't change much except the size of your
ego. Hehehe... Ken, #OpenBSD is /not/ OpenBSD. It's IRC for starters,
and I've rarely seen clueful people on IRC (particularly efnet) for some
very long time. Sure, it does happen, but most of the users are so l33t
it hurts. The OpenBSD mailing lists are quite good.

Get a life, Ken. ;-) I mean, really. You're surrounded by people who
like and appreciate your work. Just don't go on IRC again and all will
be fine...

[1]  me: I'm looking into the interoperability of OpenBSD IPSEC with
     Checkpoint 4.1 (don't ask).
     he: We support everything.
     me: Thought so. /quit
