     The difficulty isn't doing this online--in fact, importing was done
via the web interface in the alpha versions, and this capability was
deliberately removed.  The reason is that Services isn't designed to deal
with data changes coming from anywhere other than its uplink IRC server;
this is also the main reason why SQL support was put off for a later
version of Services.  I acknowledge this as a design flaw, but that won't
make it go away; if you ignore it, you _will_ get random crashes all over
the place.

     Also, technical discussions (which naturally includes the posting of
source code) should all take place on the ircservices-coding mailing list,
not this one.
