Well, boo-hoo , 3 months in an IRC channel "helping out" does not excuse plain old rudeness. Don't trash those who are willing to help. Smart alec remarks about ther blind leading the blind helps no one and is unprofessional. If you are burnt out - ignore the weak and clueless if it bothers you. Suggest that those who obviously haven't done thier homework do so. If the level of discourse bothers you, thier are many more *advanced* java listservs where you won't get tyro questions. I can point you to some of them if you don't want to do your homework.
And BTW - I've been "helping out" in Usenet/ARPAnet groups and various listserv's since the early 80's. 3 Months ? Again , BOOOO HOOO !
