As people tend to read/write quickly on IRC, and most of us have English as the second language, people tend to write things there that are easily misunderstood. I've seen this happening lots of the time. The chances are that, if you are urging to do something else, but you've received something interesting on IRC, you tend do a quick answer, often generating a long discussion on what you were meaning and lots of noise. > on a ML, there is a significant delay such that this "heat" just cools down. > > but said these negative aspect, there is a positive aspect also, that > if used properly things can be achieved faster, depending on the > people in the discussion. Discussions on ML produces better effects, IMO, even sometimes slowing down some discussions. The results are more likely to be positive, since people generally reviews their emails before sending. > > - Apparently irc sucks.
