The FreeBSD view[1] also keeps them away from IRC problems. I personally think the FreeBSD view is fair and shows a true state of IRC these days. However, you must except people are not always going to head straight for the handbook (you mentioned we ask a few simple things). It seems most problems in IRC arise from someone asking a simple question, and everyone thinking they're cool to jump on the bang wagon and riducule.
