The conversation I shared actually did happen on a dedicated channel
already.  On IRC anyone can create any number of channels for their
own use.  So what you said was already happening.  If that blows your
mind then consider this:

I often think and wish that other people would do things the way *I*
would do them.  But, alas, these other people still go off and do
things they way *they* want to do them.  Usually without consulting
me!  I can then either compromise and deal with them as best as
possible.  Or I can crawl further into my hole and push some more
rocks on top of the entrance.
