Oh, the important part that I neglected to add is that some people just want to play with their friends and aren't really into the pick-up thing. Sucks to be them, if it'll only delay the inevitable.
Simply because group experience revolves around people being of similar levels (with CoH being the only exception I've personally seen,) so if your friend is level 60 while you're 30, you're screwed.
On the other hand, if you're 18 and your friend is only 20 after going through a weekend binge, you can still group together and get comparable experience.
What the poster meant, I'm sure, is that the IRC protocol itself is a server to client-based system (RFC 1459). DCC was later created for ircii specifically (source) and as it was a great idea, it's just incorporated into the subsequent clients. The only thing that DCC has to di with IRC is the specially-formatted PRIVMSG sent to the recipient containing IP information and such.

Don't get carried away with yourself, it was a release candidate. There is no excuse whatsover for anybody to be a complete ass, including you.
I can't help but be amused at the irony of someone with a username of "Tough Love" thinking a little public ass-chewing is inappropriate.

Yo! Noid, for the NES. The thing was one huge Domino's commercial.
