| Recently there has been explosion in bug closures. This has had the unfortunate side effect of making it difficult to have a conversation in #d IRC with the bot constantly announcing these changes. I humbly request that those responsible slow down this behavior to a more tolerable level so we can talk uninterrupted in the #d IRC channel. I hate to call out someone by name but Walter in particular has been completely out of line with the volume of notifications he's been generating recently. I understand some people like bug closures and who am I to judge but there is a limit to what some of us can tolerate and it has been surpassed. I'm sorry it had to come to this. Regards, Brad Anderson |

Cleaning out the accumulated crap can ONLY be a good thing. I'd say the IRC channel can deal. :-) -- Adam Wilson Project Coordinator The Horizon Project http://www.thehorizonproject.org/ |

I live to make IRC users suffer. It's dessert after eating babies.

Posted in reply to Brad Anderson | Adapt the bot or configure your client to ignore the bot. Plain simple. |

Appeasement? I refuse to make the same mistakes Neville Chamberlain made.

You know who else configured their client to ignore bots?
Bin Laden.
You thought I was going to say Hitler, didn't you? Well that's silly, Hitler was long dead before the invention of ARPANET, let alone the IRC protocol. I don't know how I can take technical advice from someone so confused about the timeline of history.

How appropriate, considering the title.
