Because this would be more direct... when people find a bunch of text 
(me included), they tend to postpone the reading, as if "let me first do 
what i need, then i'll read". But what if the message looked like:
  "Hello Jollino! Your nick isn't registered, if you wish to do so, 
please type /ns register pass email"
with the nick itself included? Wouldn't you read it more happily? :)
