However, I consider IRC communications to be transient, much like conversations in an office. When one comes back from a break or holiday, one does not listen to recordings of all the chit-chat that happened since leaving. If something im- portant has been discussed, then it is the duty of those having discussed it to inform those who need to know in a condensed and comprehensive manner. If it was not impor- tant, well, then it was not important.
