you've completely contradicted yourself in that whole post.
It used to say "Editing the mIRC version reply, huh? :)"
That got removed, and cyclic redundancy checks got added to stop morons from removing the version reply and such like, because some people were using mIRC for illegal activities other than chatting.
I personally think khaled wanted to stop masses of bots from doing their illegal things on IRC
That's why you find some servers now won't let you connect if you don't have a version reply of most of the commonly used clients, including this one.
