Yes, and Telegram styled messages sent from a phone bother me. SOmetimes the
sender uses two or three short messages to say what he could have said in a
long, well formattedr message instead.

I can live with it, but it loos ugly.

Also, I am trying nothing specific regarding IRCNow :-) I handle some code
repositories for them and lend them a hand every now and then. We are still
gathering people and building infrastructure but the whole thing is a bit
disjointed yet. We have a functioning mailing list, the IRC network and mail
services for insiders. There are more things planned but we are still writing
the code.
