True.  By "idling", I meant when I can look at the screen.  One of the problems
I have is I pop into a channel, say hi then nothing happens for several
minutes, so I go off and do other things like read messages.  Meanwhile, people
have come and gone from chat while it's been buried behind 6 windows. :(
