  34 <PRE>Hello;
  35
  36 I've had a suggestion:
  37
  38 Create a command like:
  39
  40 /ns link add|del|list nick
  41
  42 Where &quot;nick&quot; is NOT registered. This would solve the case of nests,
  43 and allow the usage of many many links.
  44
  45 Regards;
  46 yusuf

  77 </I>&gt;<i> Subject: [IRCServices] Does anyone use nested nick links?
  78 </I>&gt;<i>
  79 </I>&gt;<i>
  80 </I>&gt;<i>      As the subject says, I'd like to know if anyone finds
  81 </I>&gt;<i> the nested link system in Services useful, or if it's
  82 </I>&gt;<i> unnecessary.  I originally modeled the system after symbolic
  83 </I>&gt;<i> links on Unix (and other) filesystems, but as this makes for
  84 </I>&gt;<i> added complexity and has in fact led to a number of bugs in
  85 </I>&gt;<i> the past as well as administrative difficulties.  So if
  86 </I>&gt;<i> there's no need for having multiple levels of nicks, I'm
  87 </I>&gt;<i> planning to just remove that capability in version 5 and
  88 </I>&gt;<i> limit links to a single level.
  89 </I>&gt;<i>
  90 </I>&gt;<i>      Note that the only case in which this makes a visible
  91 </I>&gt;<i> difference is the following:
  92 </I>&gt;<i>     * Register NickA
  93 </I>&gt;<i>     * Register NickB
  94 </I>&gt;<i>     * Link NickB to NickA
  95 </I>&gt;<i>     * Register NickC
  96 </I>&gt;<i>     * Link NickC to NickB
  97 </I>&gt;<i>     * Unlink NickB from NickA
  98 </I>&gt;<i>     * Change a setting on NickB
  99 </I>&gt;<i> In the nested (current) system, NickC would use the new
 100 </I>&gt;<i> setting for NickB set in the last step, while in a flat
 101 </I>&gt;<i> system, NickC would retain the original settings associated
 102 </I>&gt;<i> with nick A.  I can see potential cases where this
 103 </I>&gt;<i> functionality can be useful, but if no one is actually using
 104 </I>&gt;<i> links that way, then there's no real need to retain the functionality.
 105 </I>&gt;<i>
 106 </I>&gt;<i>      So, opinions, please: do you need nested links?
 107 </I>&gt;<i>
