  36 &gt;<i> &gt; &gt;In my opinion the problem that is being ignored is the ability of

  38 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;to act concurrently on data.
  39 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;
  40 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;      This isn't a &quot;problem&quot; if you had no intention of doing it in the
  41 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; first place.  I don't know what Andrew Kempe's plans are, of course, but
  42 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; I never intended Services to work on every network around; I figured from
  43 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; the start that Services would probably not work on a network the size of
  44 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; (e.g.) DALnet, and that was fine with me; that would take a different sort
  45 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; of program design, which wouldn't be as fit for the 20-30 user network I
  46 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; was designing Services for.  That said, I see no reason not to
  47 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; incorporate changes which improve performance on larger networks if they
  48 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; have no real disadvantages.
  49 </I>&gt;<i>
  50 </I>&gt;<i>I agree with this. Currently IRC Services is mostly used by networks with
  51 </I>&gt;<i>less than 500 users. There are a number that are less than 2000 and only a
  52 </I>&gt;<i>few with more than that. My aim is to keep the majority happy while still
  53 </I>&gt;<i>trying to allow the huge networks to function.

  57 Actually I would think that by the time a network reaches 2k users, there
  58 would a good chance that there would be someone in the staff that would
  59 know how to code services to upgrade/re-code as needed. I agree with the
  60 current approach of pleasing as many people as possible, but as we all
  61 know, a line is to be drawn somewhere.
  62
  63 I would only hope that under IRCServices current license, such coders would
  64 release their code in due time.
