Everyone....
    This might be just me, but I have the feeling it isn't...
    If you try to /SI to channel 1 and it is full... check the /list and find
another channel... sitting there sending repeated message trying to get on
to channel 1 seems silly, if not stupid.  You can always /msg someone on
channel 1 that you REALLY have to talk to.  Asking Val to change all of the
relay coding seems ludicrous.
    As for signing on to private channels... just do a /na 398 (for example),
if it's occupied, you'll be told so...
    And, adding some of the IRC restricions (such as having an OP the only
person who can change the topic would be unfeasible... unlike IRC, there is
not always an Op on every channel...  and there are only a certain number
of invite only channels on IRC, users can already set up /invite only
channels on relay anyway. Just invite you and all your buds to a channel
between 0-999 :)

    Relay is for relaxation and entertainment.... let's not make this any
harder than it need to be, which is not hard at all.
    Besides, we all want to keep Valdis' life as simmple as possible ;)

Peace,
