  34 <PRE>Hi, all.
  35
  36 Due to something I saw on another page, notably Openprojects', which was
  37 brought to my attrntion, for my part as being an EsperNet administrator, I
  38 cannot overstress that the software's official title is &quot;Services for IRC
  39 Networks&quot;.  While we have the distinction of being the first IRC network
  40 to employ the code, it doesn not mean we are directly involved with its
  41 development, nor does it mean we are in any position to support the code.
  42
  43 However, lately, we have been literally on the &quot;bleeding edge&quot; before Andy
  44 rolls a release, so we are somewhat &quot;involved&quot; to a degree, plus I
  45 personally host one of the FTP sites, in this case, Esper's.
  46
  47 I stress the distinction of the software's official title because every
  48 now and again, not nearly as often anymore, we still get inquiries about
  49 the code.  As Kempe has noted on the site and as he himself has probably
  50 said on his own network and I have said in our official help channel, we
  51 can hardly expect our IRC operators to know the code (heck, a pretty vast
  52 majority don't know C and it wouldn't be fair to expect them to).
  53 Besides, they have other duties to perform, notably help our respective
  54 users.
  55
  56 Thanks for understanding.
