- ..but the idea sounds good. An alternative would be to have that central
- server only handle +/- o's. That way it can stil control what's going on
- on the channel w/o extensive slow network traffic.
- And of course there need only be a 'per channel' central server, that is
- assigned as the channel is created. And if it goes down, it can be taken over
- by another server, say the server who's name,xored with the name of the ori-
- ginal server and then made into a hashvalue, is the lowest.
