RE: [PATCH v1] Fix errors generated when multiple IRC clients talk to a single IRC proxy.

[Mirek Kaim <mirek.kaim@outlook.com>]

i didn't take a look at erc source yet, but if that is the case, then it's a proof of terribly, and i mean TERRIBLY, bad design. irc 
protocol by its very definition is asynchronous and whatever gets 
received, should be processed regardless of the sender of the command 
that caused the response to be received.

i'm using erc and i'm moderately happy with it, but knowing how it was written, i guess when the time comes that i'll have some spare time, instead of writing patches for it, i'll just code my own irc client for emacs. how can an irc client be working like this is beyond me, it's like it was written without reading rfcs at all.
