The way it was explained to me by the person who suggested the change was that it was unexpected that you can't use /exec -o to dump to a query, channel or no channel, and if you did have a channel, typing a message would be sent to the query but /exec -o would be sent to the channel, so they claimed it was a POLA violation on both counts. I pledged to bring this matter up for discussion. So I am not trying to persuade you to accept or reject this proposal, only to get your honest opinion, and I do thank you for being willing to offer it. =) Does anyone else wish to offer their opinion on this before I table it?
