bkil Yes, IRC has its uses for rapid exchange or timely acting upon a signal (such as monitoring alerts, doorbell, etc) But for serious professional discourse, I feel it to be quite dated due to the above (and due to quite a few other boring drawbacks). I mean, we have VoIP conferencing tools today that is way faster than typing (although less accessible to some and not commonly indexable right now)
