There was (and still is) a lot of link spamming recently on freenode in #linux-wireless (and several other open [source] channels) from unregistered clients; to prevent further disruptions unregistered clients were prevented from writing to the channel for now. Quite likely this was/is Randys issue. Registering helps, not sure how easy it is to give individual unregistered users the right to talk. Regards Jonas
