IRC Query Command
July 10th, 2006
So, if you want to chat with another user explicitly without having to /msg all the time, just use /query.
[04:19pm|bish0p< you can do /query <user>
[04:20pm|bish0p< and it puts you in a direct chat chat mode with that user
Starting conversation with bish0p
[04:20pm|bish0p< until you do a /query
[04:20pm|bish0p< then it leaves direct converstation mode
[04:20pm|bish0p> awesome
[04:20pm|bish0p> thats what i was looking for thank
[04:20pm|bish0p> i forgot what it was called
Ending conversation with bish0p
Oh how amazing. Now Kelsey might not have to use a seperate channel to chat with me.

And it took you how long to discovery private messaging in irc?
I knew about private messaging, so it didn’t take me any time to ‘discovery’ it. But, I didn’t know about /query. Maybe you should ‘discovery’ grammar.
