[IRCServices] secure Identify Feature..

[David D. Wachtveitl]

Well, except on nicks you have the option, on the channel founder you do
not, is that not the whole point trying to be made here?  In this day and
age, it is getting to the point where you can barely go to the bathroom
without being "watched" in some manner.   The real answer would be to crypt
the passwords (so they can't be snooped/sniffed) and to not allow them to be
seen on the screen.  Knowing that is not going to happen, the current
suggestion would be a good solution.

Just my .02
