Since variables can be scoped to blocks, and allocation scopes can be arbitrary, needing neither a function or block scope to bracket them, I don't see how that will fly either.

It'd be awesome if the same happened to the flood of web shills.

Then just let enough time pass you can be a good partner to someone else.

In reality only guys in the same channel get sent the messages... if messages are spread between even a few channels the autual numbers are much more manageable for one server.
