  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>is it possible to have proper 'invalid' messages for this services function?
  35 </I>&gt;<i>
  36 </I>&gt;<i>It can be slightly confusing to have services chuck things like:
  37 </I>&gt;<i>
  38 </I>&gt;<i>STATUS ? ? ERROR Syntax error
  39 </I>&gt;<i>STATUS #chatspike Craig ERROR Nick not online
  40 </I>&gt;<i>
  41 </I>&gt;<i>rather than the 'useful' messages (for example, a reminder of the syntax) which services normally gives out?
  42 </I>
  43      The problem with this is that it would confuse bots trying to parse
  44 the message, which is what I see as the main use for this function.
