Mentioning the name of a network, be it EFnet, DALnet, PickYourOwnnet isnt advertising...
If this is the case then why are other users here being hammered for advertising? All they did is do what you say is quite okay.
From a personal point of view I agree with what you said (except your not-half-obvious and completely inaccurate catagorisation of my website), however this is my point - people here have mentioned networks that arn't part of the big four so it's taken by some as "Hey come here". Further evidence is that some now refer to "the big five" now that Quake has said to Dalnet "Thanks for keeping our seat warm". It's almost like Dalnet is IRC's holy grail.
Lets have some consistency here.
