That's exactly what happened. (Had my arms full of wriggly boy and
couldn't go into details.) Apparently some idiot who'd been using
ERInet as their ISP had gotten onto EFNet (and I think at least one
other server) and started up a self-replicating Bot. Kono baka-yaro
desu. I've not actually checked with ERInet to see if that's why I
can't get on EFNet now, but one of my friends who was also on ERInet
told me that was *probably* the cause.

I could, but it's more trouble than it's worth. My current addy has
been passed out far and wide and I don't want to have to change it if
I don't have to.
So, the question stands, if there's a way to get chatting on EFNet via
a website, could someone pass it on to me?
