Re: [opennic-discuss] new enthusiastic member!

Hi Craig,

I know what you mean by fast moving IRC, but our
channel tends to move as slow as emails. I think
you'll be fine there most times. Actually, there
is often a space of a few hours to a few days.

Your idea is interesting. I think there was some
talk about it, but I don't think anybody actually
implemented it. Others could chime in on this,
and a new topic started if there is more discussion.
