And thank the Lord for that. Joel has mentioned on his podcast that high school kids are remarkably adept at finding places on the web that they can use as makeshift IM replacements that the school hasn't found and blocked yet. This way those kids will at least have to learn to answer a few programming questions before they can use the site for their own purposes.
