[Emanuel Berg]

This is about ERC but actual question general Elisp so
gmane.emacs.help and not gmane.emacs.erc.general.

When I connect a lot of ERC buffers flickers by.
Sometime I think, ah, done, and type a couple of words "we're
in! OK, listen up everyone" and then it switches to another
buffer etc. Annoying ... and worse - unstylish!

Do everything in the background then show onee buffer of your
choise! Like when you eat a burger at zero-time downtime, you
always say first if the toothpicks should be oak or
mahogny, right?

As you see, I tried with `inhibit-redisplay' but didn't work.
