In response to pmartin's points 3-5:

> 3) IRC uses a great deal of bandwitdh.
>    One of the replies I got back mentioned the as much as 3% of the
>    total NSFNET backbone was used by IRC packets last month.
> 
> 4) 99.9% of the information presented on IRC is used for entertainment.
>    Again, if you don't believe this, logon to IRC and see for yourself.
> 
> 5) Much of the network that IRC runs on is paid for by taxpayers.
