[cod] Irc bot

[Rick]

I agree with Ben. Im not a fan of helping ppl who are unwilling to even 
try to help themselves first and just look for others to find the quick 
answer for them. Those type of ppl don't contribute to the communities, 
they just look for the quick fix and bog down the system. Most support 
forums generally have rules against that sort of thing, or mods that 
will keep things like that out to keep the forums streamlined and 
efficient for the readers and contributers. How would this mailing list 
be different?

On top of that, this is a cod4 linux mailing list. What exactly does a 
cod4irc bot have to do with that? Do you know how hard it is to sort 
thru the archives now due to the enourmous amount of non linux questions 
scattered in there? I cant find anything anymore.

And a final plus, what does Ben's answer on a mailing list have to do 
with his support record? Do customers frequent admin mailing lists often 
looking for support from there game server companies?

Just some thoughts is all. I hate seeing pointless arguements.
