Well... you can actually send every 3 minutes a PONG-message without
listening to the IRC-channel and the server will gladly accept that
^_^ . That's what I did at the time I didn't know about the
timeout-option of a socket :) But most of the time it is just better
to follow the rules and end each line with \r\n (nice, didn't know
about that, so changed it in my script :) ), send a PONG-msg followed
by everything that was send after the PING-message, etc, etc.
