Hi Yes, its really great that channels of communication is opened up but please justify your comment that it is easier than Speakfreely to set up? You've just admitted that irc takes some setting up. You have more choice of clients to use which multiplies the configuration problems of a workable configuration for each user. Your comment could be read that you were challenging the reflecter as a means of speakup users communicating with each other. Which was in my opinion, irrelevent to your beneficial and useful course of action to get an irc channel up and running.
