My point was that the people who really need help just follow irc.debian.org; the people who are giving the help generally don't connect directly to irc.debian.org [as they know which network they're on.] > Otherwise there would be split between the networks. There will always be a split between the networks; there are #debian channels on most of the major networks. Switching networks really won't cause the splits to go away; it'll just change which network the majority of the conversations happen on in the few cases where that hasn't changed already.
