Just a random question that popped into my head while correcting a message I sent to a friend.

    I remember this too, but in the nerdier channels we used regex notation instead.

      I don’t remember * being used on IRC, mainly because it denoted other things. I’m not saying it wasn’t used, merely I remember the latter. Wasn’t aware that was regex, used it in bash.
