Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but I believe mark's response about WorldIRC being lame was directed as his OS version in the profile rather than him making a response that he wasn't similar to HoFo's i.Fido. Purposefully changing your profile to reflect the installation of an OS that is not even in existence is rather lame.

jibi, that is exactly what I was referring to--thanks for clearing that up for me. I rarely call someone names (especially on a forum) unless there is due cause. I was simply referring to his (WorldIRC's) profile changes.
What is frustrating, at least for me, is that a lot of people look upon this forum in very high regard. Yet, the respect for this forum is built on the idea that the information people find here is substantiated. When you have someone(s) running around making what appear to be false claims, it really takes away from the greatness of this forum. I realize I don't know anyone here in person, so I can't make a judgment call based on someone's true character. But, there is something to say for respecting others even in an online community.
There is a time and a place for a joke. Granted, if there is some joking going on, it might have been funny for some time. But I (and I imagine many others) would appreciate if someone would "set the story straight" before more people start posting unsubstantiated information all over the place. Thanks for reading my rant.
