It's probably bad form to explain on an open list how to use a bug to map out the network... : )

Anything which breaks HIS that bad is a bug. Please explain. I don't see any practical way to get useful information out of this. For leaf servers, having a deaf user in a channel only tells you whether there are any non-deaf users in the channel *on the same server*. It does not tell you who they are or how many there are. You get more information (but not a lot more) if you allow users on hubs, which does not seem relevant. Also, how is the deaf-user case different from the no-user case?
