 Replying to [comment:86 deryni]:
 > Nrbelex: The level of knowledge of the pidgin user base has little to do
 with age, and like I said, it is *astonishing* how lacking in common sense
 and generally understanding they have. Believe me, I'm not selling them
 short. I wish I was though.

 Has the Pidgin team ever considered making a system for "Advanced Users"
 and a system for "Beginner Users" vis-a-vis the system in Azureus. Though
 I'm sure it's a bit complicated and time consuming, this might eliminate
 the issues you see on a day-to-day basis in the IRC channel or wherever
 while preserving the ability for advanced users to select options such as
 this, even if you might not think such an option is important.
