i agree with the point made that on notify will trigger even if the "wrong" person is using the nick, however i dont think i know anyone on IRC who has a static ip, dynamic IP addresses seem to be the norm so even with the full @host it might never trigger after the first time. Much better to use it when they join a channel IMO as someone using anothers nick is less likely to go to the same channels. It is true that we need to be careful about automatic messages and who we send them to.
