The objective is so that you don't have isolated pools of TZ's where one
TZ has little insight into what the other TZ is doing and has no *good*
mechanisms for communicating across timezones.

Reading IRC chat logs is an exercise is pain for many, so that's not
really the answer for cross-timezone communication.

IRC, for many of us, is something that is only useful when it's realtime.
