[IRCServices] NICKSERV suggestion.

	Well, sort of... Anyone that knows JoesSuperSecretNick and adds you to
an access list will then know your main nickname.  Even if you didn't
care if those people that knew the nickname were aware, I guess I just
meant you'd have to make absolutely sure to never be seen on the
JoesSuperSecretNick nickname by the same people, because they might
notice a similar hostmask and start to wonder... :)  If you want a truly
alter ego, maybe you just shouldn't link the nicknames together.
Otherwise you might be left with a false sense of security that no one
can discover that the two are related.
