1/ Some servers also catch it ... stealth i think replies with 'You don't
really want to do that' - I think
2/ Teaches you not to do it again.../be more careful...
3/ Clients like BitchX catch this nicely... they won't catch the command sent
directly sent to the server though - but one would conceed that a user sending
the "raw/quote'd" command would be doing so because they do know the
consequences....
