And besides, there is no valid reason to for a /pause command, and often /timers can be avoided if only people knew how.
Example: Many people still set a timer for N seconds after they join a channel, so they can see who is opped before they send their Op-Request /msg. This is easily avoided by using the RAW 366 End Of /Names event.
If they want to argue that /pause can be used in any place a /timer is used, then yea, I suppose one could get away with that.
