Actually, you are totally 100% wrong. I doubt if the creators of the AOL
chat thingy have even heard of IRC (the bastards). You can see this
just by actually using the AOL chat thingy (which I prefer not to do).
Also, your IRC client works just like it would on any other ISP as long
as your parental control setting is at general (explained in a prior letter).
The only difference is that you are k-lined from 90% of the servers and
banned from 90% of the channels because of your hostmask (.aol.com).
