It has been brought to our attention that freenode staff management are

concerned that bot owners might be using the mIRC server lists in order
to target irc networks for spam, this we do not find any proof of. mIRC
might be the most used Windows Client, and  possibly also the "ultimate
kiddie" client. This does not  mean that  we should flame mIRC  or mIRC
users through wallops.

The Irssi development team does not support flaming or in any way attacking
other IRC clients and their users (nor do  we support flaming of other OS's
or personal attacks on people for their choice of OS, application etc.),
whether their inbuildt lists *could* be used by drone writers or not. Every
IRC client holds 'default servers'. Xchat and Gaim for example  have nearly
the exact same list as mIRC.
