i think it's time for a new release. it's a pity i can't give any constructive 
code with my limited knowledge.

i submitted this to the bug system a while ago, so you are not alone having the 
problem. it has anyed me when usng irc in channels with long topics to...

i would like to see run time keybinding at some time, but not until after 0.0.6 
i guess. if i get the time and motivation i'll try to rewrite my 
"<PREFIX>:number"-patch to be a little more beutiful and see if it can get into 
0.0.7 or such.

i hate to be a pain in the ass, but i like the different color. it really is a 
lot faster for the eye to catch than an asterix. of course, you decide what 
happens because you write the code. 

my opinions are worthless as long as i am to lazy to type.

they are still in cvs arn't they. i guess everyone can check out an old version 
if they miss something. :)
