yeah but suppose the watcher sits on a lagged server A and the kick is
issued at server B somewhere on the net, and after that, the watcher
changes nickname, so server A will reply 'No such nick/channel' or
something in this fashion when the lag goes off. he still receives all
nick changes, even channel messages, but people on the net arent able to
see him (because from their perspective, he was kicked off). (this really
happened to me once :) )
