The issue with IRC is that you can see the questions if you have the
IRC client open, and you are observing that specific channel.
The typical method is to lurk in the channel and ask the question when
there is some conversation going.
Also, if you (anyone) spends some time on a channel and helps others
with the easy questions, then it helps to have your questions
answered.
