# The Minutemin's Server

This is my server. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My server is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I
must master my life.

My server, without me, is useless. Without my server, I am useless. I
must admin my server correctly. I must know the manual pages better
than my enemy who is trying to pwn me. I must type first before he
types against me.

My server and myself know that what counts in this conflict is not
the commands we type, the bots we set up, nor the daemons we
configure. We know that it is the users that count. We will serve
them.

I will learn my server as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its
strength, its documentation, its code, its inner workings. I will
guard it against abuse as I guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my
heart against damage. I will keep my server clean and ready.

My server and myself are the defenders of our network. We are the
masters of our enemy.

So be it, until victory is IRCNow's and there is no enemy, but peace!
