<PRE>Hi, all.

Due to something I saw on another page, notably Openprojects', which was
brought to my attrntion, for my part as being an EsperNet administrator, I
cannot overstress that the software's official title is &quot;Services for IRC
Networks&quot;.  While we have the distinction of being the first IRC network
to employ the code, it doesn not mean we are directly involved with its
development, nor does it mean we are in any position to support the code.

However, lately, we have been literally on the &quot;bleeding edge&quot; before Andy
rolls a release, so we are somewhat &quot;involved&quot; to a degree, plus I
personally host one of the FTP sites, in this case, Esper's.

I stress the distinction of the software's official title because every
now and again, not nearly as often anymore, we still get inquiries about
the code.  As Kempe has noted on the site and as he himself has probably
said on his own network and I have said in our official help channel, we
can hardly expect our IRC operators to know the code (heck, a pretty vast
majority don't know C and it wouldn't be fair to expect them to).  
Besides, they have other duties to perform, notably help our respective
users.

Thanks for understanding.

--Ian R. Justman, Co-Founder and Postmaster, The EsperNet IRC Network.
