I just wanted to mention something publicly here so people don't think they're being ignored by the DMs.
I probably roughly receive about 10-20 IRC pms from different people every day. Although my computer remains on and I remain logged in to IRC, I am often away from my computer.
The way my IRC client works (and the way many IRC clients work), after a certain point pms start getting shuffled into the main channel and eventually lost.
If you send me a message when I'm not around (which is often), I may not receive it when I get back.
I will never deliberately ignore anyone. It's possible I'm IG, or away, or just too busy to respond -- but you should feel free to try again later, and not at all take it personally if there isn't an immediate response.
Thanks.
