hey Juha,

all good feedback, and I agree.

I'm not sure of the other little offtopic channels, I know there are a
few I've stumbled across in surprise that there was things like
#ubuntu-over-6ft-tall-with-blue-eyes-offtopic that need consolidating
which I'm hoping guys on this list may call out any of the more obscure
ones.

I think specific channels such a the ubuntu-women offtopic channel needs
leaving alone as there is a specific reason for that channel.
