  34 <PRE>   Our network runs with LIST and LISTEMAIL restricted to admins only...
  35 so personally I like LISTLINKS the way that it is.  I think you're right
  36 that someone might not want the fact that they go by several nicknames
  37 intentionally exposed.
  38         Although what might be useful is a command to confirm if two nicknames
  39 are linked.  If you have a channel registered, you can already do this
  40 in a rather roundabout fashion.  Let's say that a user has NicknameA,
  41 NicknameB and NicknameC linked, with the main nickname being NicknameA.
  42  I (as another regular user) want to know if NicknameB and NicknameC are
  43 linked.  I can just add NicknameB to my channel's access list at some
  44 level, and then list the access list.  ChanServ will then tell me the
  45 access level of NicknameA, so I can see that NicknameA and NicknameB are
  46 linked.  And then of course, I can tell ChanServ to remove NicknameC
  47 from the access list (which will of course work, and NicknameA will no
  48 longer appear.)  So then I know that those three nicknames are linked
  49 together... if that explanation made any sense at all. :)
  50         I guess after writing that, I feel like maybe it isn't worth trying to
  51 hide nickname links, since there are ways a determined user can find out
  52 anyway...
