RusselB, if !nick wasnt common, then why is there an option that is enabled by default to send !nick as a private message? Its either useless, or a pain in the !!
!nick is used in a channel that has 10s, or even HUNDREDS of bots, each with differnt information.
If you want to request something from a specific user, you type !nick <information>. If you were to type !information, 100 bots would respond, and we wouldnt want that.
I would give you the location of one such chan, but then id have to kill you. sorry
