Here's an interesting screenshot...
Clearly a situation like this NUL takes on all new properties doesn't it.
What is more, one does not put NUL as outfile of a /filter command only to save a few bits of code ("/remove outfile"-command), but mostly because it's the fastest way to get $filtered. It's fast as it's not writing anything to the disk while reading the file.
Is THAT what this is about? Have you no self discipline? This is NOT a legitimate reason to allow write access to system devices. I've never seen anyone write to NUL before from a mIRC script. I've never seen it used at all with Windows. /dev/null I know is used either out of lazyness or as a last resort.
