-The Tao of Internet Relay Chat
-Copyright (C) Ove Ruben R Olsen 1994
-Version of 940110
-Contributing masters: Master ScottM
-
------
-Something is formed by the electrons, born in the silent cable. Shaping
-and growing and ungrowing. It is there yet not there. It is the source of
-Internet Relay Chat. I do not know the name, thus I will call it the Tao
-of Internet Relay Chat.
-
-If the Tao is great, then the IRC is running ceaselessly. If the IRC is
-great then the server is running without ever stoping. If the server is
-great then the client will always be the server. The luser is then pleased
-and there is Chat in the world.
-
-The Tao of IRC squits far away and connects on returning.
-
-
------
-The genetic potential of birth, a lot to know, yet unknown.
-
-In the begining there was nothing.
-
-Out of nothing the Tao gave birth to tolsun.oulu.fi. tolsun gave birth to
-OuluBox.
-
-OuluBox gave birth to rmsg.
-
-rmsg was not Tao, so MUT gave birth to IRC.
-
-No one knows when IRC came into existance, the mighty master WiZ have it
-to be at the end of the eight month in the year of the Dragon.
-
-
------
-Each channel has its purpose, however humble. Each channel is the Yin and
-Yang of IRC. Each channels has it's place within the IRC.
-
-In the beginning there was only channel 0, thus channel 0 is the soil of
-IRC.
-
-Channel 1 to channel 10 then was open as the sea. Channel 11 to 999 was the
-trees and forests of IRC. Channels above 999 should not be mentioned, and
-channels below 0 were unborn and contained many secrets.
-
-This was not the right Tao, so IRC gave birth to +channels.
-
-+channels had the yin and yang. Mode does not.
-
-This was not the right Tao still, so IRC gave birth to #channels.
-
-#channels have the yin and yang.
-
-Only channel 0 is the right path to Tao, but avoid speaking on channel 0.
-
-
------
-There was a great dispute among the Broom-Walkers of the Relay. Some of them
-wanted neither yin nor yang. Out of this Eris came into existance. Some of the
-Broom-Walkers then created Eris Free-net.
-
-This was the right Tao.
-
-Kind Gentle and Boring Net was another wrong path to the Tao of Internet Relay
-Chat.
-
-Some time later there was a quantity of some lusers who wanted to be
-Broom-Walkers also. The Eris Free Broom-Walkers did not agree with them,
-thus a new IRC was born. This IRC is called the Undernet.
-
-But this is not the right Tao, either.
-
-
------
-There will always be disputes among the Broom-Walkers of Internet Relay Chat.
-
-This is the very nature of the IRC.
-
-
------
-Lusers that do not understand the Tao is always using the yang of Mode on
-their channels. Lusers that do understand the Tao are always using Ignore
-on their channels.
-
-How could this not be so ?
-
-
------
-The wise sage luser is told about the Chat and uses it. The luser is told
-about the IRC and is looking for it. The flock are told about the Tao and
-make a fool of the IRC.
-
-If there was no laughter, there would be no Tao.
-
-
------
-The master says:
-"Without the Tao of Internet Relay Chat, life becomes meaningless."
-
-The Relay of the old time was mysterious and sacred. We can neither imagine
-its thoughts nor path; we are left but to describe.
-
-
------
-The sage luser must be aware like a frog crossing the highway.
-
-
------
-The great master Wumpus once dreamed that he was an automaton. When he awoke
-he exclaimed:
- "I don't know whether I am Wumpus dreaming that I am a client,
- or a client dreaming that I am Wumpus!"
-
-So was the first Automata born.
-
-The master Nap then said:
- "Any automata should not speak unless spoken to.
- Any automata shall only whisper when spoken to."
-
-Thus replied the master Gnarfer:
- "The lusers shall keep in mind that a automata can be either good or
- bad. Create good automata, and the IRC will hail you and you will
- gain fame and fortune. Create bad automata and people will start to
- hate you, and finaly you will be /KILLed to ethernal damnation"
-
-Many lusers have fallen into the clutches of ethernal damnation. They where
-not following the Tao.
-
-
------
-There once was a luser who went to #BotSex. Each day he saw the automatons.
-The luser decided that he also would have such a automata.
-He asked another luser for his automata. The other luser gave his automata
-away.
-
-The luser was not within the Tao, so he just started the automata. The automata
-had only Yang inside so all the lusers files where deleted.
-
-Some moons laither the same luser then had become a sage luser, and did create
-his automata from the very grounds with materials found inside the IRC.
-The luser was now within the Tao and his automata lived happily ever after.
-
-
------
-There once was a master who wrote automatons without the help of master Phone.
-A novice luser, seeking to imitate him, began with the help of master Phone.
-When the novice luser asked the master to evaluate his automata the master
-replied: "What is a working automata for the master is not for the luser.
-You must must BE the IRC before automating."
-
-
------
-Master BigCheese gave birth to master Troy; his duty clear. Master Troy gave
-birth to master Phone, for the Tao of Irc must be eternal and must flow as the
-ceaseless river of Time itself.
-
-
------
-Master Phone once said about the ircII client:
- "public_msg is for a message from someone NOT on the channel
- public_other is for a message on a channel that doesn't belong to
- a window. public is for a message on a channel that belongs to a
- window!"
-
-Out of this raised the mighty chaos.
-
-
------
-The sage luser came to the master who wrote automata without the help of
-master Phone. The sage luser asked the master who wrote automata: "Which is
-easiest to make. A automata with the help of master Phone or an automata
-made with the help of a language ?"
-
-The master who wrote automata then replied:
- "With the help of a language."
-
-The sage luser was disapointed and exclaimed: "But, with master Phone you
-do not need to know anything about the soil of IRC. Is not that the easiet
-way ?"
-
-"Not really" said the master who wrote automata, "when using master Phone
-you are closed inside a box. For sure, it is a great box for the lusers,
-but the master will need more power, thus a language is the only path to go.
-With the language the master will never have to limit himself. When using
-such a language the master will seek the best between the need and the
-availibility."
-
-"I see", said the sage luser.
-
-This is the essence of Tao of IRC automatas.
-
-
------
-A client should be light and be used for communication. The spirit of a good
-client is that it should be very convinient for the luser to use, but hard
-for the luser who want to create automata.
-There should never ever be too many functions or too few functions.
-
-There should always be a ignore.
-
-Without ignore the client is not within the Tao of Chating.
-
-The client should always respond the luser with messages that will not
-astnonish him too much. The server likewise. If the server does not, then it
-is the clients job to explain what the server says.
-
-A client which fails this, will be useless and cause confusion for the lusers.
-The only way to correct this is to use another client or to write a new one.
-
-
------
-A luser asked the masters on #IrcHelp: "My client does not work".
-The masters replied: "Upgrade your client".
-The luser then wondered why the master knew. The master then told him about
-the Protocol.
-
-"Your client does not work beaucse it does not understand the server. Why
-should it always work ? Only a fool would expect such. But, clients are made
-by humans, and humans are not perfect. Only Tao is.
-
-The IRC is solid. The IRC is floating, and will always be dynamic. Live with
-that or /quit."
-
-
------
-The luser came to the masters of #IrcHelp, asking about the Tao of IRC within
-the client.
-The masters then said that the Tao of IRC always lies inside the client
-regardless of how the client connects to the server.
-
-"Is the Tao in irc ?" asked the luser.
-"It so is" replied the masters of #IrcHelp.
-"Is the Tao in the ircII, Kiwi, rxirc, vms, rockers and msa ?" asked the
-luser.
-"In all of them and in the TPC, irchat, zenirc, zircon X11-irc and even the
-dos irc has the Tao" said the master quietly.
-"Is the Tao in a telnet connection directly to the server ?"
-
-The master then was quiet for a long time and said. "Please leave, such
-questions are not within the Tao of IRC".
-
-
------
-The master says: "Without the Protocol of TCP the messages will not travel.
- Without the client, the server is useless."
-
-
------
-There once was a luser who used the ircII client. "ircII can do anything I
-ever need for using IRC" said the emacs client user, "I have /ON's, I have
-assignments, I have aliasing. Why don't you use this instead of the huge
-emacs client, which also has a messy screen?"
-The emacs client user then replied by saying that "it is better to have a
-scripting language that is the client instead of have a client that has
-a scripting language." Upon hearing this, the ircII client luser fell silent.
-
-
------
-The master Wumpus said: "Time for you to leave. I did, now I'm happy."
-The master Gnarfer replied: "Use, but never overuse IRC, then you will also
-be happy within IRC"
-
-
------
-A luser came unto the masters of #EU-Opers and asked, "How can I be, yet not
-be, a user@host within the IRC?"
-The masters of #EU-Opers replied: "To be Tao is to be ones true self. To hide
-ones self is not Tao, and is not IRC, you have much to learn before you shall
-be at rest within the Flow of Irc. Please leave"
