Wow, NICE analogy Jeff! While IRC is here to stay... The future seems more like servers that're only hosted through big companies/etc as most datacenters are 'forbidding' use of IRC(Ports 6660-6669, 7000) on their network. Just a thought. ~
That's because the Internet is free and no one can control what survives on it. What survives isn't what is *ethical* but what is *useful*. And IRC is very useful for some people, so it's here to stay. The problem is not IRC; the problem is the misuse some people make of it. We cannot make knives dissapear, because they are useful; instead, we must get rid of people that uses knives to kill.
