[ubuntu-us-nc] IRC etiquette

[Dewey Hylton]

there's *almost* always someone in the room ... mine and several other nicks are always present, and myself and a few others keep tabs on what goes on there most of the day. sometimes we're in meetings or whatnot, but generally respond to questions/salutations as soon as we see them.

i'm an oldbie but have no problem with handholding. i distinctly remember my hand being held. a lot.  :)  so just ask.

But I'll work on it.  If anyone is in the room on off times, I could chat then... hnmmm, new netbook, have to go back through my messages and get Pidgin set up.
