No it doesn't. It's exclusionary in that email allows timezone
independent participation, and IMO, reading an IRC chat after the fact
is far different than being there. It's like reading a musical score -
far different than being there.
Let's not forget the fact that many users are behind a firewall. This
also prevents the use of IRC.
