Quote:
you STILL SEE "user has quit (*.net*.split)"

- With most you probably do, however one of the few uses for a netsplit detector is to prevent those quit messages and present them all in a single message so your screen doesn't get filled with quit messges. Simply by 'detecting' a netsplit and then caching the nicks of all other quits that occur from that split for the following 5 seconds can make your screen a lot cleaner.

For example instead of this:
[01:47:53] * Quits: JohnDoe (user@moo.co.uk) (server1.ircnetwork.net server2.ircnetwork.net)
[01:47:53] * Quits: JaneDoe (user46@moo.org.uk) (server1.ircnetwork.net server2.ircnetwork.net)
[01:47:54] * Quits: JoanDoe (us46er@moo.ac.uk) (server1.ircnetwork.net server2.ircnetwork.net)
[01:47:54] * Quits: JohnDoh (use346r@moo.jp) (server1.ircnetwork.net server2.ircnetwork.net)
[01:47:54] * Quits: JohnSmith (use363r@moo.museum) (server1.ircnetwork.net server2.ircnetwork.net)
[01:47:55] * Quits: JackBlack (use3634r@moo.com) (server1.ircnetwork.net server2.ircnetwork.net)

you see something like this:
[01:47:53] * Netsplit between server1.ircnetwork.net and server2.ircnetwork.net occurring...
[01:47:58] * Following nicks lost in netsplit: JaneDoe JoanDoe JoanDoe JohnDoh JohnSmith JackBlack

With large channels and major splits it can make things a lot cleaner.
