IRC: It's just like real life, only different. :-)

Yeah, I hang out there a lot! You can find on a quiet neighborhood net, (irc.qnet.com). I'm known as eeyore, cloudee or just ee. It's a social group, a leisure activity, or whatever it is you want it to be. But it is real.

I also did research on game playing on irc...which I might never get published or even presented because Bellcore is not into letting anyone know what they do, and in my case, seems to be hellbent on not letting anyone else internally know what I do either. Sigh.

Eeyore, the old grey donkey,
stood by the side of the stream,
and looked at himself
in the water.
                                 ,,"""',,;;'''''''';,
"Pathetic," he said.           ,',                   '',,
                             ,' ,'   \                  \\
  "That's what it is.       ,''' @   ) \  )      __    ) ll
