Maybe it's because I'm familiar with IRC culture, this never was an issue for me, but when you are writing to an IRC channel you are not bothering anyone. IRC clients don't usually have the habit of notifying you when someone writes in a channel. So when one checks irc, one makes the conscious decision to wanting to talk to someone or see what's going on. Usually not much, so any constructive contribution is welcome. When there is an ongoing discussion, it's of course better to wait for it to come to a conclusion before introducing a new idea, but that's not unique to irc.
