I don't even bother with IRC -- it is close to useless over dial-up, since I cannot just sit there tieing up my (only) phone line. Sending an E-Mail to the mailing list is far easier -- I can send it out and then check back a few hours or a day later. It is not like not being able to update the two packages for a few hours or days was any sort of problem for me -- I just wanted to get the update done, eventually, presuming that the update represented some important bug or security fix. > > The fact the the IRC people tell users to go check the mailing list, > and mailing list people tell people to go check IRC sickens me.
