- Since the patriot thread strted this, I thought I would bring it up
- in a seperate thread. Faking of users user@id's on irc is an aannoying and
- potentially dangerous action. I would hope other admins would update
- their server to the 2.7.2gID server that uses authd. Actually, I would
- hope other server opers/admins would take the stance that we at hertz.njit.edu
- have taken. We allow NO user tampering of user@id's. This seems obvious to
- us as a way to make users a little more responsible for their acts.

- Flames to /dev/null please, and Merry Christmas
