in exactly the same way as how the post I responded to depends on your definition of purpose, a point it seems I illustrated successfully

as for your snide, obviously wrong comment at the end, it's not worth a substantial response

Sorry if it comes across as snide but I really do wish it were different, I do wish IRC were less niche. But when all of its defenders start their HN comments with "I", it's difficult to see IRC supporters ever looking beyond the needs of the niche they exist in as individuals.
