     The problem with doing things this way is that in order to do it
properly we need to use the channel creation timestamp sent in the
original SJOIN command--but since the channel hasn't actually been
created in Services' lists, we don't have that available.  Services
could be rewritten to use SJOIN properly in this way, but since JOIN
works just as well, I don't see any reason to.  If the messages bother
you, filter them out in your script.
