Agreed. That's exactly what you use it for. As is implies fixing it to
work properly though I'd assume :)

I'd agree 100% The point I was making was that the historical versions of
ircu (2.9) showed them as "*"... at least 2.9.32 did. I would say that +p
channels should be listed with the channel name clearly shown... and either
display the topic, or show "" (or something similiar) in
it's place.
This is what I've always thought as well (though I thought the topics were
supposed to show up as well? I suppose that's a minor detail) and is borne
out in the way that I use +p on my own channels. I use it if I am going
somewhere and I don't want people in that channel to /whois me and follo
According to my look at ircu 2.9.32 (the last version of 2.9) it was the
other way around... except that the topics were also hidden for +ps.

Ummm... +p channels were _always_ showed in /list as I recall.
"Secret" implies totally secret -- i.e: you can't find out about it unless
you already know the name.
"Private" implies that your existence on the channel is "private" unless
they already know the name... or if they start /join'ing
I have found what I think is a bug in the /list command. Mainly that +p
channels do not seem to show up.
It was always my understanding that the major (only?) difference between a
PRIVATE and a SECRET channel is that PRIVATE channels show up in
/list. This is the way I have always used +p...
