  34 <PRE>Sorry, I must admit not to reading the RFC all the way through, it's hardly
  35 thrilling reading :). To put a logical view on it though, IMO you shouldn't
  36 use a PM where a notice would do - i.e. if you don't want a reply (after all
  37 a notice isn't called a notice for nothing).
  38
  39 Anyway, Bahamut does support /msg $*.yournet.net as well as /notice, if you
  40 really want ;).
