  34 <PRE>I had actually been telling some people to enter their NickServ password
  35 in the server password field on connect (thus using SIDENTIFY) because
  36 their scripts would execute the perform commands on connect (such as
  37 joining channels) before they would respond to the NickServ notice asking
  38 for their password.  Since SIDENTIFY is done first, this solved their
  39 problem.

  41 It may not be something everyone uses, but it is useful in certain
  42 circumstances.  Unless it poses a problem for services, it is a feature
  43 that I think would be worth adding back in.

  53 </I>&gt;<i>      I removed that (and apparently forgot to note it in the Changes
