34 <PRE>I only use one level of linking...never really considered multiple levels,
35 all my extra nicks link back to one. As for multiple roots...the SU command
36 is extremely helpful and I feel is more secure.

73 </I>><i> >> just remove that capability in version
5 and limit links to a single

76 </I>><i> >> Note that the only case in which this makes a visible difference

84 </I>><i> >> * Unlink NickB from NickA
85 </I>><i> >> * Change a setting on NickB
