Ok, I would have posted the session log, but this is still far from satisfactory.
I will post my thoughts and queries later, thanks.

It is not good for the community | in general, see Davids recent addition to our site: | | "Occasionally we will use other communication channels such as IRC. | These are used only for a specific purpose and are not permanently | available. This policy ensures that solutions are available in the | mailing list archives and enables people to respond at whatever time | that they choose. Permanent IRC channels are poor from a | community-building point-of-view, as they tend to create time-zone based | cliques. So we don't."
