I suggest IRC is a small (though sometimes very detailed) part of the 
conversation about gnc; I suggest that the people taking part in this 
conversation mainly know each other and a bad person injecting a world 
changing message through IRC should be dealt with as ordinary.

C'mon, are we really expecting someone important other than a Trump or 
Yeltsin to play in the IRC and if it is just a pony, deal with it.
