Especially in the "newer" areas I find : a lot of new bucks with little
experience and a too large cowboy hat. Java, CSS, HTML type groups are
far and away the worst.

Correct. I couldn't agree more. Frankly, if someone finds IRC to get a
help with his homework then good luck to them :maybe they couldnt afford
the text book. And a patiently explained answer here could help them a
lot. What next "fuck off Im not helping you because you're earning money
from your job and should work it out for yourself"?

True. I like IRC : the problem is that the minority of bullies and
clueless sheriffs invariably have OP status and ban you for disagreeing
with them.
