34<PRE>Hello;
35
36I've had a suggestion:
37
38Create a command like:
39
40/ns link add|del|list nick
41
42Where &quot;nick&quot; is NOT registered. This would solve the case of nests,
43and allow the usage of many many links.
44
45Regards;
46yusuf

76</I>&gt;<i> To: <A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">ircservices at ircservices.za.net</A>
77</I>&gt;<i> Subject: [IRCServices] Does anyone use nested nick links?
78</I>&gt;<i>
79</I>&gt;<i>
80</I>&gt;<i> As the subject says, I'd like to know if anyone finds
81</I>&gt;<i> the nested link system in Services useful, or if it's
82</I>&gt;<i> unnecessary. I originally modeled the system after symbolic
83</I>&gt;<i> links on Unix (and other) filesystems, but as this makes for
84</I>&gt;<i> added complexity and has in fact led to a number of bugs in
85</I>&gt;<i> the past as well as administrative difficulties. So if
86</I>&gt;<i> there's no need for having multiple levels of nicks, I'm
87</I>&gt;<i> planning to just remove that capability in version 5 and
88</I>&gt;<i> limit links to a single level.
89</I>&gt;<i>
90</I>&gt;<i> Note that the only case in which this makes a visible
91</I>&gt;<i> difference is the following:
92</I>&gt;<i> * Register NickA
93</I>&gt;<i> * Register NickB
94</I>&gt;<i> * Link NickB to NickA
95</I>&gt;<i> * Register NickC
96</I>&gt;<i> * Link NickC to NickB
97</I>&gt;<i> * Unlink NickB from NickA
98</I>&gt;<i> * Change a setting on NickB
99</I>&gt;<i> In the nested (current) system, NickC would use the new
100</I>&gt;<i> setting for NickB set in the last step, while in a flat
101</I>&gt;<i> system, NickC would retain the original settings associated
102</I>&gt;<i> with nick A. I can see potential cases where this
103</I>&gt;<i> functionality can be useful, but if no one is actually using
104</I>&gt;<i> links that way, then there's no real need to retain the functionality.
105</I>&gt;<i>
106</I>&gt;<i> So, opinions, please: do you need nested links?
107</I>&gt;<i>
