will you do the same with the "i don't like the way they handled that issue"
rants as well?  or are those fair game for any user that pops in like you
seem to think is appropriate in other places?

no, but some people do -- quite loudly sometimes (not pointing fingers)

some of the things that are said are really quite good and shouldn't be lost
in the sands of time.  archiving irc would mean they'd be somehow
retrievable.

that depends.  can i set up my own?  or is there an unspoken limit?

it's not the bots i have a problem with.  it's the lack of responsibility
some people seem to exhibit around them.

for the record, i was only relaying some of my experiences.  i wasn't saying
