			== This Proposal is Moot ==

			This proposal really is moot because we have an IRC Channel via the Battlestar Forum, many thanks to Shane, and it has been operational for awhile. There's been a live chat on Fridays coinciding with the airing of new episodes and they have been well attended.

			I'd say that this proposal can be removed as it is no longer germane. Not even as an archival copy. But, that's just me.
