hmm better idea
it would probably be easier to do like they do on #debian
and have an introductory message:
> ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- [#debian] Welcome to #Debian. This is a discussion channel, if you have a question about
<snip>
> channel's guidelines by typing in "/msg apt guidelines". Please do not paste in the channel;
And in our message tell people that people are mostly on American or
European times, and if they dont get a response not to take it
personally and mail the to aibword-user@abisource.com or
abiword-dev@abisource.com
i think that might be a task that Abbey bot could appropriately handle
