I can't see how anyone could use the nick "/quit" without getting an 'erroneous nick' message. And if you used /msg /quit or /notice /quit wouldn't you get a message 'no such user', rather than getting disconnected? Never compare yourself to others - they're more screwed up than you think.

Therefore typing /quit wouldn't disconnect you...ugh, I'm confused now Never compare yourself to others - they're more screwed up than you think.
