Comment (by cysioland):
Yes. It may annoy. But it serves a purpose. If not it, people would
complain that I sit here idling and cluttering channel, also, it tells
people that I'm not there, and they should contact me another way (imagine
that #fedora isn't only channel @ Freenode).
Replying to [comment:1 kevin]:
Parts and joins serve a function (telling people who care who has
joined
and left) and can be supressed for people who don't care on most any
client.
Nick changes on the other hand, do not serve any purpose (anyone who
cares if you
are away can query you and see your status is away, settable
from almost any client or bouncer) and cannot be supressed by most any
client.
Imagine if everyone changed their nick on any event, the channel would
be too
noisy for anyone to get help.
