Whois info is always sent by the server so there is no way for this to happen. As Poppy said, only opers (usermode +y where I am) can see this happen but that is because the server supports it. One thing about it, it's not the you-beaut function that people think it is. When you get some fool flood you with whois requests it gets waring after a while. I only leave it turned on because when an oper cops a whois from some stranger it usually means that trouble is about to occur.
