There are still intelligent people on IRC and other chat systems. It's

lot about perl there, met some very cool folks. We have that ellusive
"community" that the 'net was supposed to give us.
But I agree that most of IRC is painful.

I remember when you could chat online (in my case, Compuserve) with
intelligent people... Umm.. And you only got 20 hours a month. :(
