Hiho,


I did mention that it is hard to interpret the context of a snippet of
an IRC conversation one wasn't part of.
Not to mention the problematics of a proper discussion on IRC in
general, where generally people are reacting to things they read a few
sentences ago, and can't type fast enough to formulate their thoughts
in quick reply, not to mention the lack of extra-verbal communication
one misses in a medium like that, and linguistic issues of people not
communicating in their mother tongue, or dialects of what seems to be
the same language.


sincerely,
Marije
