[JDEV] Jabber Clients: sending a single message to more than one person

[Thomas Muldowney]

Of important note for people doing this all client side is the wonderful world
of rate limits and karma.  Yes they will eat you up and spit you out if you
try and do too much.  As a matter of fact these were mostly put in for spammers
(and those crazy whacky clients that lost control and spazzed).  So you would
need a server side solution at some point.  Of course this won't help spammers
either because they would have to run it on their own server and s2s traffic
is limitted.  Lot's of problems lots of solutions.  Someone like to post this
in the Asylum on the website?
