Agreed.  IRC is like a mail list with (mostly) faster response times :)
The advantage over a mail list is that there's no percieved commitment.
IOW, you can /join, ask your questiosn, get an answer, and /leave.

However, *just like* a mail list, you better ask intelligent questions
which aren't FAQs ;)
