On some level you have privacy concerns, IRC messages are quick in |
| 16 |
nature and can be easy to read out of context, in particular if people |
| 17 |
use it correctly as an asynchronous medium and not run around with naked |
| 18 |
pings to establishing synchronous means. |

The Freenode Channel Guidelines says: "If you are considering |
| 21 |
publishing channel logs, think it through. The freenode network is |
| 22 |
an interactive, real-time environment where discussions may be |
| 23 |
heavily influenced by external context. Even on public |
| 24 |
channels, most users do not weigh their comments with the idea that |
| 25 |
they will be enshrined in perpetuity to stand on their own. For that |
| 26 |
reason, few participants publish logs and we encourage those |
| 27 |
communities that do to make their participants aware of this fact." |
