At least in German, standing on a public place is an agreement to be filmed,
and going to a performance were it sais "television present" is an agreement
to be shown on tv.
Speaking public in irc is therefor an agreement to be logged and going to a
channel were things might get posted is an agreement to be included in it.
/me thinks.
