It /might/ be traditional troll behaviour, it could just be
unfamiliarity with IRC. So it is my belief that we should encourage
those people to ask their questions, either directly or through a bot
factoid and stay sensitive to their follow-up behaviour. Deadcat's
responses weren't really called for, unless he really knew josh__ from
various different channels already and even then, they appear rude to
bystanders.
