  59 This sounds alot better than having NickServ hand out a whole list of nicks,
  60 which I stayed up last night and thought of at least a dozen malicious
  61 things I could do with a list of linked nicks.

  63 I'm sorry, but my first question is always &quot;How can this be exploited?&quot; I
  64 also admit that my spammer example wasn't the best example because it does
  65 make the spammer go out of the way. There is still the privacy issue and a
  66 few others that I can think of and wont mention.
