A few thoughts here on IRC administration, and the best way to keep your oline on servers you oper on. First off you need to know what you are doing, before you're opered, before you're linked. Training on the job gets servers packeted. Secondly when a network decides to delink your server but does not remove your oline, common curtousy would dictate that one not /kill the network administrator. Sadly I guess I expect too much out of some people, and things like this happen.
