I understand Alejandro's point of view, and agree with him.
He's not saying that IRC is no good.
What he's saying is that IRC is not the solution to the problem I

It's a solution for that right moment, and for someone who's there.
But won't allow a new guy looking for some solution to search for an
already discussed one and see it.
