Re: Re: proposal to change IRC channel to #gentoo-GLI

well you guys are not understanding what i am trying to say.... I know
the idea of open source is that everyone gets to contribute... The
theory behind my idea, is that a n00b who wants a quick answer is not
going to apply for membership, wait a day or 2 to get access and then
go in and ask it. The typical n00b is one that just goes in asks a
question and leaves... Hell you could even just make a script to let
em in after 2 days! I realize that open source is meant to be open....
it still would be.. you'd just need to wait 2 days to get access...
