  34 <PRE>&gt;<i> Andrew isnt refering to 'randomly generated nick
  35 </I>&gt;<i> registration', Andy is just stating that the nickname that
  36 </I>&gt;<i> services will change your nick to is 'randomly generated'
  37 </I>&gt;<i> what and is also saying, that if it were to generate a new
  38 </I>&gt;<i> nickname for a user based on its current nickname, it would
  39 </I>&gt;<i> have to check to see if that nickname is registered before
  40 </I>&gt;<i> changing it. (for example, Craig is taken, someone tries to
  41 </I>&gt;<i> use it, Services wants to change the nickname to Craig132123,
  42 </I>&gt;<i> it has to check to see if Craig132123 is already registered
  43 </I>&gt;<i> before changing the nickname. Otherwise, you may hit another
  44 </I>&gt;<i> already registered nick.). Nicknames with the guestprefix
  45 </I>&gt;<i> cannot be registered at all. Meaning that services doesnt
  46 </I>&gt;<i> have to perform registration checks on it before changing the nick.
  47 </I>
  48 This situstion are very highly unlikely, isn`t?
  49 Improve randomization, add one more check, that`s it.
  50 Anyway, services ask password again.

  53 PS:
  54 This feature alredy implemended on some services and I don`t see any
  55 problem there.
