34 <PRE>I really wonder about people with more than
1 level of nested nicks, I don't
35 see much of a point. If you want to fake multiple levels just use
2+
36 starting nicks. Anyway, I only use one base nick and link all my nicks to

59 </I>><i> As the subject says, I'd like to know if anyone finds the nested
60 </I>><i> link system in Services useful, or if it's unnecessary. I originally
61 </I>><i> modeled the system after symbolic links on Unix (and other) filesystems,
62 </I>><i> but as this makes for added complexity and has in fact led to a number
63 </I>><i> of bugs in the past as well as administrative difficulties. So if
64 </I>><i> there's no need for having multiple levels of nicks, I'm planning to
65 </I>><i> just remove that capability in version
5 and limit links to a single
68 </I>><i> Note that the only case in which this makes a visible difference is
69 </I>><i> the following:
70 </I>><i> * Register NickA
71 </I>><i> * Register NickB
72 </I>><i> * Link NickB to NickA
73 </I>><i> * Register NickC
74 </I>><i> * Link NickC to NickB
75 </I>><i> * Unlink NickB from NickA
76 </I>><i> * Change a setting on NickB
77 </I>><i> In the nested (current) system, NickC would use the new setting for
78 </I>><i> NickB set in the last step, while in a flat system, NickC would retain
79 </I>><i> the original settings associated with nick A. I can see potential cases
80 </I>><i> where this functionality can be useful, but if no one is actually using
81 </I>><i> links that way, then there's no real need to retain the functionality.
83 </I>><i> So, opinions, please: do you need nested links?
