What good is simulating real-time chat with email? |

If you prefer not to use IRC most of the time, fine. |
| 12 |
Refusing to use IRC when it is clearly the superior tool, that's just dumb. So |

What's so bad about the real-time nature of IRC anyways? That's just like having |
| 16 |
a genuine face-to-face conversation. Are those bad too? To be avoided at all |
| 17 |
costs? What problem are we solving here again? |
