So I'm not sure what conclusion to draw. Are you saying talking to this 
list is like beating a dead horse? So what is the critical mass of a IRC 
channel, wait I know the answer two, one person and one bot ;)

Wouldn't the silent 95%+ plus be true of almost all group communication 
situations even dinner parties ;)

P.S. Yes unrelated, but very clever to reply and yet fail to answer the 
real question, top marks!
