Both types of communications have their advantages and disadvantages;
I don't think anybody is suggesting we get rid of the e-mail lists,
but the more real-time IRC might be useful as an additional form of
communication for those who wish to use it.
The Mozilla browser comes with an IRC client, incidentally; click on
the "CZ" (Chatzilla) icon in the bottom bar if you're using it, or
type "irc:" into the address bar. ( http://www.mozilla.org/ )
Incidentally, your e-mail messages are malformatted; they don't have
proper line breaks. See my article on e-mail line length:
