I think IRC helps to build a more tightly knit community and, because of |

this, is very important to Gentoo. The less close we are as a community, |
| 9 |
the more free we feel to be hostile because we don't see the folks on |
| 10 |
the other end of the big tube as real people. It's much like a technique |
| 11 |
that militaries use during wars to de-personalize the enemy, except with |
| 12 |
the Internet, we start that way and have to apply effort to grow closer. |
