I just had to comment on this because I could hardly believe what I was
reading.

In a global, world-wide-web, no matter what time is selected for an IRC (or
whatever) meeting, it's going to be inconvenient for *someone*. Deal with
it! Only tin-foil-hat conspiracy theorists could possible consider it was
behind closed doors. Not that I've looked, but I'd bet anything there's an
open record of the entire IRC conversation archived somewhere accessible.
Sheesh.
