IRC is for real-time conversations, and pasting many lines of code there makes it hard to converse. A channel can be very crowded even without pasting code snippets, so it’s best to keep excess text to a minimum. I guess that’s why it’s customary on IRC to paste code elsewhere and just link to it. For mails it’s fine (and desirable) to include code snippets inline or as attachments. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
