My work environment is what I'd call typical US corporate - IRC nodes are blocked, but I can use a web-based client to access it. A couple of days ago, someone had the poor taste to throw a pack of rabid spam bots into the #haskell channel, forcing the short-term solution of shutting down all web-based users. I noticed today that I can now access #haskell again, but have no voice. I'm wondering: is there any way to modify access to allow registered users to speak? I've tried using other web-based clients, but none of then connect to the freenode server. At home, I can (and do) use mIRC, so I'm not totally cut off - and now I can read, but not communicate back to, the #haskell channel. BTW, please direct me to another list, if this issue does not belong on it. Walt "BMeph" Rorie-Baety "A mountain that eats people? I want one!." - Richard, of LFGComic.com
