Sorry guys I am very -1 on this issue.  IRC is inherently a very
casual discussion forum and logging it might discourage people from
"thinking aloud".  Not saying that we have things to hide, however it
is important to have a "private" space.  I fear if IRC becomes logged,
then conversations will be held in real-space which is even less
accessible.

I do use screen+irssi (and have used it on and off for over 15 years)
and I highly recommend it to people - you never have to worry about
missing a conversation or coming in and not seeing the last 10 minutes
of said conversation.  It also allows your irc client to become a
message drop point (people can leave you private msgs when you are
afk).  Here in SF, comcast doesn't filter incoming port 22, and
combined with dyndns and a linksys firewall (and vmware) it's easy to
have a small Linux vm that is just for small internet things like
this.
