Daily, someone drops in on the [Tcl'ers chat] to ask a question about [Eggdrop].
The person typically ''thinks'' it's a question about [Tcl], because that's what
he's been told.  It's really about Eggdrop, though; as a consequence, the usual
Chat crowd, which generally is helpful to a fault, goes silent, in recognition 
of its own ignorance.  No one's upset, contemptuous, or dismissive; we just 
don't know what better to do.

The one thing that is better to do is to read the [Wiki] page on [Eggdrop], and 
note especially that, as is written there, "please go to #eggdrop".

Is ''this'' Tcl the same as Eggdrop's Tcl?  Yes; '''however''', Eggdrop Tcl builds
in special [command]s not known outside Eggdrop.  Good Tcl programmers, therefore,
can help with questions about syntax in Eggdrop Tcl, but often not about semantics.

Currently, the official Eggdrop web site is:

http://www.eggheads.org/

Eggdrop related downloads, documentation, mailing lists, and forums are all available there.

Are you a programmer?  The Tcl'ers' chat has hosted quite a few encounters where
both sides have frustrated each other.  It might well be that we don't even know
how to speak Eggdrop well enough to tell you what the problem is in talking about
the problem.  In September 2008, though, Colin proposed that, "Are you a programmer?"
probably effectively summarizes a lot of the context.  If you have a programming
background, and/or are curious about Tcl, and/or want to learn more, you're likely
to find The Chat a helpful place.  If you just want someone to fix your Eggdrop,
it's likely we won't be useful to you, and, based on considerable experience, it's
possible we won't even understand each other well enough to hold a conversation.
