Agreed. And if public archives *are* being maintained (after
everyone's agreement), it should be mentioned in the topic.

Channel stats are trivial to get from the server without actually
joining a channel. So this can't be controlled by anyone (except
perhaps the IRC server admins if they decide to have a blacklist).

That someone being me. pavi was flooding the channel with join/parts
and I wanted to show him what it looks like from everyone else's POV.
He subsequently fixed the problem (don't remember exactly how). The
problem was that the connection was being constantly dropped by a
local firewall.

None of these seem to indicate public archiving, so I suppose there's
no archiving being done after all.

Okay everyone, false alarm, nothing to see here, please move along :-)
