Don't worry Cameron, IRC wont be dropped for ICQ. Anybody who talks of
replacing IRC with ICQ really doesnt have a clue as to how it works under
conference conditions. My simple advice to those who are thinking that ICQ
would easliy replace IRC is to try ICQ with just 3 persons involved in live
chat. Then tell me if they think it could work with say seven or eight. :)

In short IRC #rml should be around even if I dont hook up to it :)

Besides I enjoy the chat sessions at the moment.

Cheers
Merlin
