I did say "decrease" not "stop entirely".

Every argument I'm getting thrown back at me is arguing against the latter,
instead of what I actually said.

If even one person doesn't attack because he can't take over the channel,
and brief service interruption doesn't cut the mustard for him, then using
Chanserv was a good tool, and that's the only claim I made.

If you want to argue that the attacks won't decrease, fine; but everybody
please stop telling me that they won't cease, because I KNOW THAT ALREADY.
