  50 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;
  51 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; -OperServ- Sends a string of text directly to the server to which
  52 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; -OperServ- Services is connected.  This command has a very limited
  53 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; -OperServ- range of uses, and can wreak havoc on a network if used
  54 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; -OperServ- improperly.  DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND unless you are
  55 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; -OperServ- absolutely certain you know what you are doing!

  57 &gt;<i> Shouldn't have anything to do with it, unreal afaik echos back quits from

  60 Unreal 3.1.1-Darkshades, which is what rc5proxy.mp3crew.nu is running,
  61 distributes the SVSKILL -- it does not target the user's server and echo a
  62 quit back.  Bryan is correct, and people need to RTFH.
  63
  64 Random suggestion: disable RAW by default, and make it a #defineable option
  65 in some obscure undocumented header file.  To people who ask, respond &quot;use
  66 the source, Luke!&quot;
