The problem is not with the specification: it's with how it makes the server send unhelpful or confusing responses to clients. It happened with +q, it happened with NOIDPRIVMSG, it happened with the channel-redirecting bans, and it probably happens still with other things. The network attitude seems to be that this is entirely a client-side problem, never mind that the server responses are variously unreasonable or incomplete. -- MJR/slef Laux nur mia opinio: vidu http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Bv sekvu http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
