Funny, looks alphabetized to me.

Yup, still alphabetized. Wow, that sure is unsorted. I am, well,
stunned that I had never known that alphabetized was equal to unsorted. And
here I though it was the most basic of sorting methods. Imagine that,
graduated high school two years early with such a misconception of the world
hammered into my head.

It was on dal.net and undernet, not efnet. I've not been on efnet in 5+
years for other reasons. And in each case we were justified. When we get
20-30 people form the same country trying to clone us off a channel each
week and maybe 1-2 "legit" users each month for maybe 10 minutes, well, you
do the math.

See what you want, just know that you're more than likely 100% wrong.
