I would imagine that if we're talking about "unsophisticated" users,
the majority of them have no idea what IRC is anyway -- most of them
are using AIM, or Yahoo! IM, or....

        Quite true. I do know of a small fraction, however, that when Yahoo 
stopped supporting the chats for their groups, that went over to a Java 
IRC client. Granted, they still don't know that its IRC, but they'll still
end up running into something totally unexplained.
