    +1.  If I am not online on IRC, I am not 'ping-able' at that point
    in time. From what I understand, slack takes that away by being able
    to send offline messages. We already have email for that. For people
    like me who get anxious until I hit reply to an email that is
    addressed to me, slack doesn't sound all that fun. Searching IRC
    archives on a need basis works just fine. On a lighter note,
