I don't want "backlog" (read: see what happened when I was gone). I want full-text searching of the entire channel history. I already log my IRC conversations, and it's a pain in the goddamned ass to ssh to my bouncer, grep through the logs, and try to find what I was looking for. I want to type in the same client that I'm chatting in, and be able to reference this message to other people. IRC doesn't do that.
