Lemme share it again. #freebsdhelp. Just because people are in a freebsd chat channel does not mean they should have to endure massive amounts of repetitive questions. That's why there's a help channel. Get a clue or stop complaining. There's also www.defcon1.org, www.freebsd-howto.org, and www.freebsd.org/handbook There's plenty of help out there without abusing the knowlegable people on IRC, who want to come on IRC and talk to other knowlegable people without being plagued by beginners. Those who CHOOSE to share their knowlege and information with people are in #freebsdhelp.
