I too must apologize if my reply seemed saturated in with flamebait, I most
certainly did not mean it as such. Since my ill experiences with Chris
Birch, Opus(othernet bot author), I still vividly remember some of the
turmoil he has endevored to produce a free (GPL) product, such inflamitory
attitude from end users in general has shyed me away from learning to code
services. This negetivity has made me a little trigger happy when it comes
to seeingrequests that look like they may evolve into a "me me me" email.

My favorite thing to do is write mIRC bots. Bots are far easier for me than
any normal script will ever be, (if that makes since). I understand bots
completely, it took me about 7 days to understand an eggdrop bot inside and
out and at that time I was only on IRC for about a year. I have the concept
of services memorized to the point I could write a set of ircservices via
mIRC's scripting language, including a very basic password encryption
module, I know nothing as well as I know bots. This is one thing that
attracts me to services. I'd LOVE to be on a coding team of some sorts, but
my lack of knowledge in C/C++ prevents me from doing so.

I understand that there is very little comparing mIRC's language and a REAL
language such as C/C++ but I can still see a vast likeness is general, just
different syntax wise.
