I am not in IRC very frequently, but I have been there often enough to be convinced that this is very wrong. There's a big social difference between mailing lists and IRC. And both are different to meeting in person or talking on the phone. Should we found a group that collects money to pay the DPL's phone bill if he needs to give certain fellow DDs a call?
