AW: [IRCServices] auto /msg when connecting?

[Ballsy]

	If I recall correctly (you can search the list archives to 
verify), an RFC specifies that any automated correspondances should be 
sent via /notice, as opposed to /msg.  I believe Andrew responded to a 
related question some time ago, so watch for his address when searching.  
Was it in the RFC or just a recommendation...hrmm..I don't quite recall.  
At any rate...
