Andrew you touched upon a sore point with me and I can't help myself from
replying to this one. IMHO can be applied to all of the following.

In summary I do not believe this is a good idea at all. IRC channel use
causes a real perfomance problem across the networks that make up the
'Internet'. Despite the best attempts by a large number of network
administrators around the Internet, IRC is becoming more popular by the day.

Yeah, what he said :-) The real reason is the time zones. When I want to
call someone in Oz without really getting them pissed off by calling at 3 am :-)
I have to wait until the weekend or call between 3 am- 7 am to catch Oz in their
evening cycle. In the midwest (central standard time) Oz is 15 hours ahead of
us. Harro is 7 hours ahead of us. Kind of hard for everyone to get together.
Please keep it the way it is.
