[Asterisk-Dev] [OT] #asterisk on irc.freenode.net

[wasim at convergence.com.pk]

1) similar to how you need to sub to these lists before posting
2) the channel had a hundred million signon-signoffs by spam bots
3) so the powers that be (no bkw_, don't gloat now :P) decided, righthly, 
imho, to have a nick identified before it got on #asterisk
4) yes, its a pain initially, but put up a script that does it for ya

- wasim, who doesnt even want to know what his 2p (paisas) would get in 
this day and age --- daadi used to say you could buy an entire cow for 
that amount in her day, but then dad also used to walk 10 miles to school, 
uphill, both ways ...
