While browsing EPIC's home site I found a notice stating that the client's
goal is to be more feature-rich while still getting less bloated and overly
complicated. Same with that you're just giving tools, as you stated, not the
whole product. I may not see any reason for replying to PRIVMSG with another
PRIVMSG, but this may cause confusion among ones, who create well-thought
innovations by scripting. It's not your responsibility for one's bad
creation, you're just giving the tool, ie. the knife. You got the picture.

If I were you, I would just remove the code (along with the one preventing
replying to NOTICEs) and wash my hands. But it's up to you.

regards,
