You should never see a Quit back. Kill's are kills they remove the client immediately. However what ircu's trying to prevent is a quit and a kill crossing and ending up with a desync, so it kill's the user again from the local server, knowing that the kill won't get passed on if it doesn't match a user, but if it does then it will clear out any possible desync. Just one of those weird things that can happen on IRC :) -- Domestic happiness and faithful friends.
