It's been a decent while since I took a peek at Geogre's essay on IRC, so I
don't know if it's been changed since then. As a longtime user of IRC,
myself, I thought it brought up some great points for everyone to consider,
both on and off IRC.
I tend to find IRC very helpful in small matters where time can be a key
factor -- dealing with everyday vandalism or widespread disruption,
answering helpme and unblock requests from users in need, or getting a quick
second opinion or sanity check on something, say. The ability to rapidly get
the attention of a large (and hopefully diverse) group of people can be a
double-edged sword, so use it wisely.
