Providing helpful advice for people for free on Freenode, I think "don't ask to ask, just ask" should be made a services-level command. Y'know, just type /justask and a service bot will post the almighty phrase of c

Indeed, I prefer noise. Silence makes me feel ill at ease, like nobody's around, like something terrible could happen and I have no recourse to anybody. I don't feel safe in silence, but whenever I tell anybody this, I'm poo-
