If several bridged users have joined the same IRC room, messages will be received multiple times. Since IRC messages do not have identifiers, they will not be deduplicated. How to fix this??

Idea: generate message IDs based on the hash of (author, text, approximate timestamp), where the timestamp can be in increments of say 10 seconds so that if the message is received by two clients during the same 10-seconds timeslice, their id will be the same. Unfortunately in this case dedup will not work at the barriers between 10-seconds timeslices.

Any better idea?
