1. just make a poll and let majority decide. if successful, implement it.
   upgrade hubs, place deadline, jupe not confirming servers.

2. I gladly get rid of them. 

3. not it if is supported by mirc. there are much more complicated things
   users manage to handle. (yes I read your point whiskey and I am sad
   about it that yu may be right :( )

4. sorry - but I miss the context with !-channels right now :-\

!-channels are the better concept. Why was it introduced when you stop
now?

greeting,
Jochen
