My experience is ... the few times I connect into irc, all people are
connected but nobody's speaking. It seems to me a place where people meet
after having arranged an appointment or so by any other means...

Email is persistent, irc is not. I can't see older messages. So, for me,
irc is like using the phone: without record and on the fly.

Not the right tool for bugs that lasts for months...

Am I wrong?
