<Vhata> sorry, what confluence said
<trender> it ould have been helpfull if one of you okes stepped up to the plate sooner
<trender> would
<trender> all im hearing is dissing and static man...
<trender> its about 7 years old
<Vhata> I think we tried to find out info quite early, and you kept the fact that you knew the specific brand of linux hidden right up until confluence hazarded a guess
<Vhata> so I'm going to tap out now, because it's 11pm on a Sunday night and you're not willing to meet us halfway even though we're giving you help for free
<trender> im nnot asking for free help dude
<trender> read above!!
<trender> im hoping you can read
<Vhata> I didn't say you were asking for free help, I said we were giving you free help
<confluence> I got enough of a free sample to know that you couldn't possibly pay me enough to make me want to deal with you professionally.
<Daev> not that I was in, I am out. night
<trender> confluence im not interested in paying you...i dont think you have the skills
<confluence> What a relief.
<trender> if i needed a jackass i wouldnt need to come to a channel called #clug to find one surely
<Cow> where do you normally go
<confluence> Cow, you're making me choke on a rusk.
