IRC logs do not contain identifying info - unless you reveal youself
You'd be surprised. I was about six years old when I realized I could tell who was walking upstairs by the sound of their footsteps.
I can identify code that my co-workers have written by their individual styles. And that's after conforming to our coding standard.
It's common knowledge that individual (prose) writing style can be as identifiable as a fingerprint.
In short, pretty much every action you take has the potential of adding to a list of identifying information about you. If your actions are watched long enough, you will be identified.
