The DALnetizen, Issue #8, Official ezine of DALnet

(My first attempt at creating a crossword puzzle..  this one is pretty basic.)
All words are IRC related in one way or another.
I hope to have a program for creating an interactive puzzle before the next issue --
Until i get a program, use the traditional pen and pencil and or print this, then check your answers here.
and no, i have no idea what happened to the clue for 10 across, it should be "my advice is, get a boat"
(does that make me clueless?)
Enjoy...
