[NTLUG:Discuss] irc channel

[rhia]

Forgive the top posting.

Why delete all the other servers? Under the network list, just scroll
down to Freenode. 

If you want to, under "Edit" you can, and should, add irc.freenode.net ,
irc.eu.freenode.net , irc.au.freenode.net , irc.us.freenode.net , etc 

But no reason to delete the other networks. XChat remembers the last one
you connected to so the other servers don't matter.

(been on irc for years, running xchat on freenode for 5 of them)
