Be *very* careful with mirc - it's a favourite way of installing a
backdoor trojan onto a remote machine

U mean by DCC the file transfer system? well yes this is always a risk I
agree but I would offer to you that in todays climate of more awareness on
virus attack firewalls and anti virus software of this sort plus the sort of
people that use mIRC (generally more computer literate both for perpetrating
and prevention against such devious attempts although not always the case
its true) but generally speaking, then it is possible to keep on top of such
events. I wouldn't be scared to use mIRC just because of that risk and I
don't think people should be.
So are you popping in yourself sometime then?

Agreed. Just flagging up the warning to anyone unfamiliar with mIRC.
Lets face it, if everyone was already equipped with firewalls and
anti-virus software then we wouldn't have the sort of virus frenzy
we've seen recently.

Sorry, no. I don't see the point. This ng does everything I need :-)

you need to boot anyone who says a/s/l it's so annoying.

You're saying this is a common problem in pubs? :-)

Obviously someone with a sense of humour. I seriously think something like a
#uklondontransport irc channel would suceed after all there a just as many
minority interest groups with channels that operate on very low key
membership and they survive. Of course sceptics abound everywhere.
When it gets going and it can take years i've had a few drifting in where I
managed to enlighten the uninitiated about our transport affairs in uk (and
thats by the way working on my own here without the jibes) im sure those
that have little interest now on this newsgroup will condescend to pop in,
even if only briefly out of sheer curiosity. Either that or they have great
determination not to bother. No Problem.
