     And again I ask: why is this a problem?  If they want to stay with
the guest nicks, I see nothing wrong with that.  You can't register them
anyway.

     Yes, there's no problem with adding Q:lines to servers for this.
Using the SQLINE command for this does _not_ work at the moment (Services
will get into an infinite loop guesting people), but I'll fix this sooner
or later.
