The URL to the quotes DB¶

Let’s say something interesting happens on IRC. For example, if your friend stops by the IRC channel and says something amusing:

<friend> hey, I just realized
<friend> oh-mainline... the oh starts for OpenHatch...
<friend> but it's also, like -- oh! mainline!

and you want to put it in the IRC quotes database. Here are the steps you take:
