DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing

PFAK writes "DALnet IRC Network, formerly the world's largest IRC Network has announced that the IRC network has implemented a new "policy" that will phrohibit "Using a channel for the primary purpose of facilitating the transfer of files", as of March 1st, 2003. This will be another staggering blow for the formerly largest IRC network in the world, this comes after one of the many suprises on DALnet, such as the recent DDoS attacks against the network."

    Well, that's how I read it.
    Just the same as

    I'm not hungry; I ate a McDonald's "hamburger" for lunch.

    McDonalds do sell hambergers, just not ones that you would like to call hambergers.

    This is a new policy, just not one that you would like to call a policy.

    How come the PP got modded up?
