Is IRC popular nowadays? I gave up on it years ago (OK many years ago - when I was using an Amiga
) as I never really got on with it and I'm generally known to be in the geek class (but hey, geek's the new chic right?
) With my reservations and those outlined by others I'm not sure it's the best way for an inclusive but private discussion, so to quote an advert "there must be a better way"
BTW well done Alexander with getting a meeting with the Earl of Northesk this could be a very productive avenue.
