I think @Catelite means that we talk a lot for 18 people. Which is only true some of the time. Like under that topic "If tomatoes are fruits, is ketchup a smoothie?"
While your in the IRC, your welcome as long as you are respectful, not abusive to others, don't flood the channel and don't abuse the Bot which may or may not be lurking. We all have our tolerance limits, some are more patient than others. Push us at your own risk.
Also, I lurk under an alternative nick sometimes... you never know when I may be watching....
