Summary:                    +O overrideable by non-opers in netmerge

I hope you can do something and help us by trying to make services work with this Andrew because it seems they arent and wont ever listen to what the users want, im just glad YOU are different and will at least try to get something working.

Thanks,
Craig

>>During a netmerge, if one side of the split has +O on a channel and the other doesnt, a non-oper can sit on the side without +O and when the net merges, force his way into the opers only channel. Its easily reproduced, and can be a quite annoying problem,
>> if enough people join while the net is split.
