Well, before you get all pissy, why don't you think of your own example?  How
about times where many clones join a channel and start flooding it.  If the
bot doesn't have to deal with the flooders' MSGs to the channel, it can deal
with the fact that there is a JOIN flood going on.  It saves a lot of
resources and bandwidth on the client's end.  Also, think of VERY busy channels
(such as warez channels, I suppose) where the text is scrolling fast as hell
and you can barely keep up with it?  Why bother having a bot receive all that
garbage when all it needs to do is op people when they join?
