        Opers can't remove other opers...that's the admins job (unless of
course the admin delegates conf file access to one of the other opers).

        And opers can see what server you're on...even if the other person
is an oper, head in sand only applies to users, and remote local opers -
their local server will still display the server someone is on if they
/whois <nick>.  But if they directly query the remote server after that to
see if the user is a local oper, they won't see the server name in the
reply, because the remote server can't see their oper status.
