      I hate people who mime their email for the plain text part.
    In any case.

      I have been planning it. Well, allowing stats c, but not giving
    the actual IP's, I'll disable the port # as well.
    Port 6666 is quite commonly used for autoconnect, as well as 31337...
    Not really very much that can be done from userland really...

      I do not like TS4. But, this is hardly the place to discuss it.
