[09:09] <DJones> Asked them to stop the line of discussion
[09:10]  * AlanBell wonders if cfhowlett should apply for ops
[09:12] <DJones> I think he should, he's quite aware of channel guidelines & is around quite often, maybe a bit enthusiastic with factoids, but certainly has a good attitude
[09:12]  * AlanBell thought cfhowlett was a she for some reason
[09:12] <DJones> Could be, I'm not certain
[09:12] <DJones> Is it worth me sending a pm?
[09:13] <DJones> And asking if they'd consider it
[09:13] <AlanBell> to encourage them to ask for ops, yes
[09:13] <DJones> ok, will do
[09:13] <AlanBell> enquiring about gender, not so much ;)
[09:13] <DJones> Yeah, that would be irrelevant
[09:14] <AlanBell> I think I know an unrelated howlett who is a she, just mixed up in my head
[09:15] <AlanBell> anyhow, people who correctly use the !ops trigger in general are likely to people people we should empower to sort things out themselves
[09:19] <DJones> They are interested, going to look at the email and the links
[09:20] <DJones> Hi cfhowlett
[09:20] <cfhowlett> DJones, hey!  just checking in while my other eyeball is reading the links
[09:20] <DJones> Yeah, quite a bit of links to read
[09:21] <cfhowlett> My initial thought is that since I only run LTS ubuntustudio, I could best help out in US or perhaps xubuntu
[09:22] <cfhowlett> DJones, the "catalyst" page is actually quite helpful.
[09:23] <DJones> Its what you'd feel comfortable with, I use a default Ubuntu install, but only as a user, I don't have a great technical knowledge, but give support where I can & just be aware of potential issues
[09:24] <DJones> That is very handy, thats something you do well
[09:26] <cfhowlett> DJones, outstanding.  Let me read up.  Thank you for the invitation.  It is most appreciated.
[09:26] <DJones> You're welcome
[09:27]  * Unit193 waves to cfhowlett.
[09:27]  * cfhowlett raises a tasty beverage in the direction of Unit193
[09:52] <Pricey> cfhowlett: Your slip is showing.
[23:47] <totem> hi phunyguy
[23:47] <phunyguy> yes?
[23:47] <totem> phunyguy, please fix my ban
[23:47] <totem> i already join, why?
[23:47] <jbroome> it's not long enough?
[23:48] <rww> totem: because the ban is on your cloak and you've been joining before your cloak kicks in
[23:48] <rww> !doublejoin
[23:48] <IdleOne> remove the channel from your auto join
[23:48] <phunyguy> totem: you do realize also, that #ubuntu-offtopic is not a support channel, right?
[23:49] <totem> okay i understood
[23:49] <totem> btw, i don't do drama
[23:49] <totem> thanks
[23:49] <jbroome> oh man, sorry for my smart-ass response, i thought i was in a different ops chan
[23:49] <phunyguy> well I was going to remove it....
[23:50] <knome> jbroome, mistakes happen, don't worry about it :)
[23:50] <phunyguy> the ban has been in place for over a month
[23:50] <phunyguy> shoot, over a year
[23:50] <phunyguy> 2013
[23:50] <rww> on the other hand, totem hasn't improved since 2013
[23:51] <IdleOne> s/13/10/
[23:51] <jbroome> the user or the program?
[23:51] <IdleOne> both
[23:51] <rww> yes
[23:52] <phunyguy> :P
[23:52] <phunyguy> ahh well. I will leave it in place.
