I really second this, not generating channel logs takes away much of
an advantage for i.e. someone who reads about the irc channel in a
year. he'd be able to read up on issues already discussed, while
otherwise it'd be lost.
also an irc channel is an open medium, anyone could go in an log
traffic including sensitive data without the rest knowing so I'd
suggest to deal sensitive information either masked or in a query. :)

Please let the 'read-only-subscribers' like me have some logs ;)
