Once again, you guys show how you are.  You came into my new chat channel
only a night ago, pretending to be there as some kind of friend. 

Do you know how much help i recieved from you all the whole time i was
there?  I have log after log where i asked a question, seeking help, only
to be told that basically i was dumb, because i couldn't figure out the
docs.

As far as log files go, Twyst and the rest of you are always twysting log
files to your own usage.

My question to all of you, is how can you trust someone that would nuke
somebody?

Would you download software from a site that supports a guy who nukes
people?
