IRC log isn't what we're talking about

I think I can resolve an issue here:

No, because we are using Internet applications (IRC programs) and not Web 
applications (browsers, user agents) to create the Web content. If we all 
had to log into a Web site to read and write to IRC, then it might fall 
under our topic of discussion.

I see someone else later pointed this out.
