[wplug-plan] IRC problem for #wplug

[Richard Farina]

IMHO: you don't have to worry about any of the "cloak/spoof/ident" stuff in 
this current situation.  Someone check into the timed bans on freenode, if 
that is automatic, that could be a good way to fly.  As a matter of not 
always having a op, there are enough trusted users in there most of the 
time that it shouldn't be much of a problem so, billings, share the +o 
wealth.... I doubt you would op me but still, there are others in there 
that I'm sure you trust.
