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.
