"if the help file was bigger and better people wouldn't need to post here and argue like this "

Sorry, but i have to disagree with that. Consider how many times the answers given here are direct quotes from the help file, or answers contain the suggestion to type /help blahblah. Fact is that many people simply wont take the time to look in the help file or read the stickies here, let alone download and read mIRC FAQ or the versions.txt.

To expect that any suggestion posted here will appeal to everyone who reads it is unrealistic. Some will like it, some wont, but everyone is entitled to post their opinion as long as its done with common courtesy and adds to the discussion. The final decision rests with Khaled, but he does pay attention to the posts here. If he didnt want to know what people think, there wouldnt be a feature suggestion area.
