Well, I guess my experience of the network is quite different -- I'm 
able to talk with people on other servers all day long. In fact 
sometimes I wish the network were less reliable so fewer people could 
find me. ;-)

That said, it's true that some of the server codebases need help. Any 
suggestions (or patches!) you have for making that happen would be 
appreciated. :-)
