Privacy?
The response to a version request infringes on privacy a LOT less than /whois does, or /dns. Yes, you can fake that as well. The point is that all it says is that you are using mIRC. So what? Why does that matter?
Anyhow, being that this is an official forum, showing how to bypass what Khaled chooses to not allow is not a good thing to do. Other sites can be used to offer such things.
He has allowed blocking all ctcp events for those who hate the idea of version replies. Yes, it screws with anything else you want to do that needs a ctcp reply, but that is the choice of the user.
