Notes
-----

If the IRC network you are connecting to is globally distributed, the connectDelay may need to be as high as 5 seconds.  (Example - Freenode needs 4-5 seconds)  For local or geographically located servers the delay can be less.  Individual results will very so testing of different values should be done before this is fully implemented.
