Just like every non-acedemic newsfroup is a waste of time, just like non
research related email is a waste of time. everything non acedemic is a
waste of time. thats right bobby, you've got your finger on the pulse of
what is right and wrong. Banning IRC will not cut down on your two hour
wait times (hell, i redialed 1.5 hours last night myself), the users who
use it will just filter over to other modes, such as news or mudding
perhaps. thats great .. more mudders is just what we need.
Besides, think of it this way .. when the major IRC users get suprised
will turn out to be Christmas Graduates and lose their accounts anyway.
Everyone knows IRC really stands for I Repeat Class.
