Dear Saptak, It would be great if you give us a brief introduction on how to use IRC clients (not in IRC obviously). I read about it on the internet, however, it seems a bit old school and clients have a lot of features. Please consider this for people who are newbies to IRC clients, like me.
Thanking you, Regards, Siddhant Shenoy.
