.. anonymous users also protect privacy.
spamming becomes a problem when there is a broadcast portion
to the protocol. i would recommend against including such a
feature.
we could also code the clients to allow users to have "deny-lists"
that disallow certain names from sending messages to that
particular client.
has anyone thought about implementing jabber on top of IRC?
it has quite a few features that are desirable and would
limit the amount of reimplementation. perhaps we'd have to
eliminate the need for a single server with a single user
space... there i go again... thinking aloud.
