Hello all! Important question for all who participate here! Do any of you check into the ferret chat on irc.prospero.com/#califerret? I tried for 2 hours Sunday night and the server would not let me in. Kept telling me my nick (For NICKNAME, that name used while in mIRC mode) was erroneous! It would not let me enter a nick, regardless of how it was entered. My question: If any of you gentle readers were successful in joining the #califerret chat, what server did you use? (By server, for the uninitiated, I am referring to the irc address you entered to reach it...ie: irc.ais.com, or irc.prospero.com, etc.) Or, if you are somewhat INet oriented, what was the affiliation of the server you used...FNET, UNDERNET, DALNET, etc. Any help will be most appreciated. BTW, if enough people had a problem getting on, I am going to suggest that perhaps a little more easily accessed server be used. I do so like the idea of a 'live' chat about ferrets. For the record: I am against long messages in the FML, don't care for the baby/fuzzy talk, or the solicitation for funds for the shelters. HOWEVER, being that I am adamently opposed to censorship in any form, my index finger of my right hand very easily pages down through uninteresting (to me!) posts. So..not that it makes any never-mind, they all should stay. Let ME bypass those posts I don't care for. Thank you very much! Joe Wolfe, with Billy-Bob on one shoulder and Garret the ferret on the other! [Posted in FML issue 1615]
