Well... opinions are various, BUT...
- if you connect to a small network like yours, there shouldn't be any trouble. You can dance together and have tea parties

- if you connect to a large network such as Undernet (the one i've been hanging out for over 4 years)... you meet lots of people.. different types of people, obviously. So you have your nice people, and you have your bad people. I was tired of it all - flooding, botnets, cursing, takeovers, abuse and stuff.
- yahoo messenger is more like a state of tranquility to me

i've found peace
