All this talk about X ... Does that belong on this list? In order to preserve synchronization it is necessary for the servers to remove all bans that are overlapped by a new ban that is set. That means that when someone (including when that someone is X) sets a ban *!*@* then ALL bans are removed from the server. If not, then THAT is a bug.
Hence that I said "I use it to clear the ban list", because typing: /MODE #chan +b-b * * Clears the ban list completely. And that has nothing to do with X. -- Carlo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
