If the text were only sent to clients attempting to join the channel, this is not a problem as the clients currently in the channel do not see the text. The text returned to a client attempting to join a channel with such a key message could be fairly trivially modified to support this by adding a %s in the appropriate place. I expect the real problem would either be memory usage (although I don't expect many channels would take advantage of this feature, through a lack of education if nothing else). GK
