[IRCServices] mildly off topic? <- a little more than mildly maybe, huh ?

Ah... just got this after I sent my reply... it is off topic. A little
discussion around an ircd is acceptable, but please keep the topics of
discussion related to IRC Services. People are subscribed because they want
to discuss IRC Services - not ircds.

Thanks, Andrew

Hello;

Couldn't you simply point to an url listing the changes instead of
sending them to the list ?

Shall I assume, that the list administration and as well as Andrew
prefer Unreal ?

Am I allowed to post out the ChangeLog of tr-ircd to the list as well ?

yusuf.
