I did some digging around mrc_client.py, and commented out line 110 which looks like this:

clogfile = "%s%smrcchat.log" % (mrcdir, os.sep)

And added this line just below:

clogfile = "/dev/null"

So it'd end up looking like:

# clogfile = "%s%smrcchat.log" % (mrcdir, os.sep)
clogfile = "/dev/null"

This will log the chat to /dev/null which means it won't go anywhere.  On a windows system you may be able to use:

clogfile = "NUL"

But I haven't tested that.

Someone with more python experience than I have (read: none) may be able to do something more efficient.  I don't actually know if this chat log is used/needed for anything, if not, it may be possible to eliminate this code entirely.  If it is needed for something, this may end up breaking something.
