Re: Option to disable the 10 mins connection close alert.

You nailed it on the head, Tom. That what I was trying to get across
in the first place. I use Colloquy for the iPhone and it has the
option to disable the alert after open connection for 10 mins and an
option to disable multitasking altogether. But I rather have
multitasking and an option to disable the notification alert. :D

That doesn't mean that I don't want the connection to be held open in the background when possible, just to make it easy and fast to return to my incredibly important work and/or gab session on IRC. I think an option to disable the connection close alert would be incredibly helpful as modal alerts are inherently annoying. If Apple actually implemented a sensible notification system ala Android or WebOS this wouldn't be an issue, but as it stands now I'd like just to disable it.
