Oh come now, if epic can't handle broken things from servers, people using
epic would never survive OPN, let alone efnet, ircnet, undernet, and just
about every other irc server in existance.

As far as I'm concerned, they're just about all broken horribly.  They
just happen to speak close enough to the same language that clients such
as epic can usually figure it out in the end.
