I don't. Why bother? In dch++ it takes a boolean and three lines of code to delay the sending of the nicklist until myinfo's received, and considering peoples unwillingness to upgrade/change client, the hubs should deal with it anyway.

1) Yes, this is the correct forum, the beta forum is for hub owners only.
