- A normal user can see all users on all servers on the irc network,
- if he wants, whether they are +i or -i. You can also do your own
- simple telnet substitute, which you can use to send irc commands
- to your favorite server, and save all the output of the command
- to a file and do a grep user@host if you want.
-
- I want to say, that you do not have to be an irc operator to gain
- information... all you have to know: bugs.
- Sorry guys, but your anti-op attitude just pisses me off sometimes.
