Is it possible with Quassel to tell it not to join a channel at its startup

Quassel has both a distributed core-client as well as monolithic core+client IRC client. I am using the monolithic one. [$] aptitude search quasse i quassel - distributed IRC client - monolithic core+client p quassel-client - distributed IRC client - client component p quassel-client-kde4 - transitional package to quassel-client p quassel-core - distributed IRC client - core component i quassel-data - distributed IRC client - shared data Now my question is, is there a way to tell quassel not to join a specific channel on a specific server while joining other channels (which is the default behaviour) of quassel. Is this possible, if yes, how? My use-case is simple. While working I don't want any distractions, same is the case when not working.
