Thanks for the question - I could have been more clear about "regular 
use", and in the survey I do say that a bit better.

 From your description, I would say that you are not a regular user of 
IRC. That is, you do your work without periodically discussing it in 
IRC, and are not actively participating in others work and design 
discussions. Absolutely no judgement here, this is a common situation 
that we can hopefully address and facilitate for other developers.

Please feel free to take the survey, the feedback will be very much 
appreciated.
