• I believe that it is fair to use this image in the IRC flood article:
• To illustrate how a message flood can render the user interface of the client difficult to use.
• In the absence of any free alternative. (note, that if anybody on a free <as in speech> client happens to be hit with a message flood, please upload a new screenshot to replace this)
